A large seated assembly of devotees fills a bright hall, with many women in the foreground wearing orange, saffron and white saris and rudraksha malas, hands pressed together in anjali mudra with eyes closed. Some have tilak and flowers in their hair. Behind them rows of seated devotees, including men in white and some bare-chested, extend toward a stage with large screens and a painted deity image on the wall at upper right. The scene suggests a satsang or guru purnima gathering.
