Long rows of devotees in rust-orange and maroon robes sit cross-legged on a white tiled hall floor, facing a central seated group. Each devotee sits before a green banana-leaf plate holding rice, lentil dishes, fried snacks and small cups, with hands joined in namaskar. Near the front centre, a man in a white shirt with a lanyard and a woman in a cream sari sit with hands folded beside a white-clad figure on a red-and-blue mat. A large banner backdrop and a camera on a tripod are visible at the top. Several white-clad attendants stand along the right wall. The scene looks like a communal satsang meal.
