A large seated congregation fills a hall, with many people in white clothing and orange-red shawls draped over their shoulders. Rows of devotees sit cross-legged on a patterned carpet facing a dark wooden chair or throne at the centre-left, with a tall silver stand and a small offering beside it. White drapery hangs at the back and a small figure stands near the throne. No individual can be identified with confidence from this view, so the throne-side figures are described by role only as devotees and attendants at a satsang.
