Indoor satsang or puja gathering on a carpeted floor before a decorated deity murti and a silver throne. A bare-chested man with a crown and long garland sits on the left side of the throne, while devotees sit in a semicircle. Several men wear saffron/orange cloth and bead necklaces, with some in white dhotis, and women wear saris and jewellery; a woman in a yellow sari and gold ornaments sits near the center. A tall flower-garlanded murti stands behind, with a large white garland and a smaller garlanded figure beside it. Red curtains and a brass railing frame the room. The scene is a devotional gathering in progress.
