A long covered hall with a corrugated metal roof and steel railings forms a central walkway leading toward an orange curtain at the far end. Devotees sit in rows on white plastic chairs on the left, some in white clothes and dark trousers, and others on mats on the right, including a person in a white garment and a person in orange-saffron cloth seated on the floor. Hanging decorative cylinders with blue and red patterns hang from the ceiling, and framed photographs and notices line the walls. A few figures stand near the orange curtain at the front. The atmosphere is that of a satsang or darshan sitting.
