A large hall during a Maha Shivaratri satsang with many seated devotees in orange and saffron clothing and white garments, most sitting on the floor before small brass plates of offerings and lit oil lamps. A narrow pink carpet runs down the centre aisle between metal stanchions. Colourful cylindrical banners with tassels hang from the ceiling, and a screen at the far end shows a distant figure. A bald priest in the right foreground wears an orange cloth, rudraksha mala and white forehead markings, with hands folded near a lamp. Roughly a hundred or more people are visible, seated in rows.
