A large tented hall with red and yellow draped fabric and hanging lanterns hosts a crowded satsang. Dozens of devotees stand with palms pressed together or hands raised in prayer, many in white kurtas and dhotis, saffron and orange shawls, and rudraksha malas. Some wear colourful saris and salwar kameez, and a few women wear kumkum on their foreheads. Overhead a camera crane sweeps above the crowd, and large screens at the back show a deity murti on a decorated stage. Orange cushions and bags lie on the floor near the front rows.
