A seated congregation fills a hall with white walls and a white tent-style ceiling, many people sitting on mats and white plastic chairs with palms pressed together in namaste. Most wear white clothing, some in pastel or coloured outfits; a woman in a yellow top and orange shawl and a woman in a blue top sit in the front rows. A banner reads International Vedic Hindu University and Nanda Spurana Program, with another board reading Life Bliss at the back wall. A large crowd is visible, though many are partially hidden, and no speaker is clearly identifiable on stage.
