A large indoor satsang gathering with a dense crowd of devotees in white kurtas, white dhotis and saffron-orange shawls worn over the shoulders. Many attendees wear lanyard badges and some hold their hands in anjali or folded prayer. A foreground man in a white outfit with a saffron shawl presses his palms together, and a woman in a red top with an orange shawl stands nearby. A golden deity murti or statue stands at the far right edge of the hall, and large red video screens hang from the tent ceiling. The setting resembles a tented assembly hall with white and red decor.
