A large indoor satsang hall filled with seated devotees in white kurtas and orange-red shawls. Many hold up green, white and light-blue fan-shaped paddles before their faces, apparently as small handheld boards or fans during a session. Several men in the foreground wear orange-red scarves and rudraksha-style beaded lanyards with orange and white ID cards. Purple-and-white patterned banners hang on the back wall and bright red cushions line the edges. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible in the frame.
