A large indoor hall with pale yellow walls and a wide balcony filled with standing spectators along the upper rail. Hundreds of seated devotees fill the floor on red-and-white striped mats, most women in white saris with gold borders, some in pink, yellow and green, many with hands pressed together in namaskar. Several women in the front rows wear gold necklaces and bangles. Water bottles, bags and books are placed on the mats. Black speakers stand on stands at the side walls and ceiling fans hang overhead. The scene suggests a satsang or seated programme with a crowd praying in unison.
