A photograph of a large seated congregation inside a covered hall with a corrugated roof, decorated with hanging yellow, orange and multicolored patterned fabric cylinders. Rows of people sit on the floor facing a white-draped raised seat with a red and white square cushion at right. Near the seat, a man in a pink shirt sits cross-legged on a white mat beside a plate of flower garlands, red and white blossoms, folded orange cloths and banana-leaf plates. Women in saris, one in white with a pink border, press palms together in namaste, and a young boy in an orange shirt sits in front. Several men wear white. The scene looks like a satsang or darshan gathering.
