Indoor photo of a large seated gathering on striped mats in a plain hall with a corrugated metal roof and a glass display cabinet. Dozens of people in white ritual clothes, many women wearing white saris with gold borders and rudraksha malas, sit attentively facing the front, some with hands folded. A framed sign on the wall reads about things used by Paramahamsa in his young age. A small red and gold canopy or palanquin stands near the cabinet, and a camera on a tripod records the session. Some men in the back wear white dhotis and shawls.
