A large indoor hall with a metal roof and bright white walls holds a dense seated audience of devotees on colourful striped woven mats. Most are dressed in white with red-orange shawls draped over their shoulders, and many wear lanyards and name badges. Several women have white and ochre tilak marks on their foreheads. Behind them, a decorated gold ceremonial altar or palanquin-style structure stands near a world map banner and hanging flags. The crowd gazes forward toward the front of the hall, apparently listening to a discourse or satsang. No single presenter is identifiable in this wide view.
