A large indoor hall with a metal-roofed structure filled with seated devotees on colourful striped mats in red, yellow, blue and purple. Most attendees wear white dhotis and shirts; several men wear rudraksha malas with orange-red beads, and one man in the foreground wears a gold-bordered white dhoti and an orange mala. Some participants have ID lanyards. Ornate golden decorations and a golden throne-like seat stand at the far left, with a deity murti and altar setting visible at the top left. The mood is one of collective sitting satsang or gathering in an ashram-style pavilion. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance.
