Wide view of a large hall with cream walls and recessed ceiling lights, where a crowd sits cross-legged on blue-striped floor mats in rows. Many wear white kurtas and white shirts; a few in the foreground wear orange, and others wear pink, blue and purple clothing. Red curtains hang along the walls beneath framed portraits of sannyasis and deities, and a few steel stands stand between the rows. Scattered on the floor are water bottles, backpacks, small brass or steel bowls and red flower petals. The people appear to be seated attentively for a session, possibly a satsang or discourse. A large crowd of many seated attendees is visible across the hall.
