A large white-walled hall with a corrugated metal roof and exposed steel trusses, lit by fluorescent tubes and ceiling fans. A group of about thirty people, mostly women in white clothing with some in yellow, pink and orange, stand in a loose circle and clap or dance with raised arms. Several men in white shirts stand at the right edge, and a few people sit along the back wall near windows with dark curtains. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a central teacher, and the scene resembles a group movement or satsang session.
