A large indoor gathering of seated devotees on colourful striped mats, most wearing white dhotis and white kurtas with red or orange shawls. Many have yellow-bordered dhotis, vibhuti or sandalwood marks on their foreheads and arms, and some wear rudraksha malas. At the lower right, a man in an orange sannyasi robe with a rudraksha mala sits in the foreground. Behind the crowd, a gilded ornate throne area is decorated with flowers and a small deity murti under a canopy, and a few figures in orange and white stand near the stage. The audience appears to be listening attentively in a satsang-style gathering.
