A large hall with rows of seated devotees on red mats facing a gilded throne-like seat at the far left, with a deity murti and framed photographs along the walls. Many men in white dhotis and shirts, saffron and maroon robes, and rudraksha malas sit cross-legged, while women in saris sit toward the back. No clear candidate for a person is visibly identifiable in the foreground seat, so this is a seated congregation at a satsang or discourse.
