A large indoor hall packed with a seated audience of many devotees, mostly in white and pastel clothes, with women in saris and salwar, facing a stage at the far end. Ceiling fans and lights hang above, and the rolled-up shutters open onto a stage draped in red and blue cloth. A screen shows a face and a portrait of a woman sits in the upper left, while banners and a sign line the side walls. A small figure in white stands on the stage, though the people in the front rows are seated in plastic chairs and the scene reads as a satsang or discourse gathering.
