A large seated congregation fills a hall during a satsang at the Bengaluru Aadheenam. Most attendees wear white or cream saris and dhotis, many with gold borders, and some have orange or red shawls and kumkum on their foreheads. Women sit with hands folded in prayer and others listen attentively on red mats. Behind them, framed devotional pictures hang on pale pink walls and a few men in white stand near the back. The setting suggests a Mahashivaratri gathering with a devotional audience.
