A large crowd fills an indoor hall with a high metal roof and white-framed ceiling beams, its beige walls pierced by ventilation grilles. Several young women in orange saris with rudraksha-style beaded necklaces stand in the foreground, one holding her hands together. Behind them, many men in white shirts and dhotis and women in colourful saris sit or stand among devotees. Tall orange-and-white decorative pillars hang from the ceiling, and a bright lamp is mounted above. The scene resembles a satsang gathering with a dense seated audience.
