A large seated group of devotees fills a wood-panelled hall during an Inner Awakening programme, many with palms pressed together in namaskar or clapping. In the foreground, a young boy in a dark shirt and a man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala sit on red-and-white striped mats. Children in striped, blue and yellow shirts sit nearby, and a brass puja plate with oil lamps rests on a woven mat. Many men and women in white ritual clothes sit in rows toward the back, and a clock and exit sign hang on the walls. No clearly distinctive presenter is visibly leading from the front in this frame.
