A dimly lit hall with many seated devotees, mostly women, sitting cross-legged on striped mats and facing toward the front. Many wear white or cream saris and rudraksha malas; one woman in the foreground wears a white sari with a gold border and a white shawl, another in a floral white sari, and one in a red top at left.

A dark, wide indoor hall photographed from the back of a large seated audience. Dense rows of people in white clothes fill the foreground, many lit faintly by small screens or lamps, and several are holding up phones or cameras. Overhead, a row of fluorescent tube lights runs along the arched ceiling, and a few bright round light spots are scattered through the air. At the far end, a stage or dais with a dark backdrop is barely visible in the gloom. The image is very low-light and grainy, with most detail lost in shadow.
