A large indoor hall filled with hundreds of seated devotees in white clothing, most wearing white headbands tied over their eyes, sitting closely on mats and carpets. Many raise their hands or sit with palms pressed together in meditation or bhakti practice. Several wear white shirts with ID lanyards around their necks. Colourful woven cloths hang from the upper right, and a wooden cabinet and framed signs line the back wall. No single figure is identifiable as a presenter in this view, and no distinctive a person cues are visible; an orange-clad figure sits at the back right among the crowd.
