A large indoor satsang hall packed with seated devotees in orange and white ritual clothes. Many women in orange saris with rudraksha malas and vibhuti or kumkum on their foreheads sit with palms pressed together in namaste or holding small lamps. Others wear white dhotis or white saris. A decorated offering table with fruit and flowers stands at left, and a red-and-gold umbrella hangs at the edge. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible among the seated crowd, so no candidate is flagged. The hall has pink walls, framed artwork and a red exit sign.
