Wide view of a large hall during a seated satsang gathering. Hundreds of devotees sit on the white tiled floor in white clothes, with many wooden chairs and small desks in the foreground for those seated on chairs; some wear white dhotis and shawls, others saris and white dresses. Many attendees have long hair tied back. Rows of brass oil lamps (kuthuvilakku-style) with yellow bases line the aisle. On the far stage, a golden ornate altar and a central deity murti are visible, flanked by two large screens showing close-up images of a robed figure. Wall paintings and framed pictures line the side walls. Crowd size is in the hundreds, but only the visible people are counted here.
