Elevated view of a large hall filled with hundreds of seated participants wearing white clothing, many with white shirts and white dhotis, some with rudraksha malas around their necks. They sit on red mats with yellow cushions and papers in front of them. A carved wooden panel with a lion-like figure stands on the right wall, and framed pictures hang on the back wall. No individual can be clearly identified as the a person from appearance; the participants are devotees attending a session.
