A large indoor hall filled with seated devotees on purple and patterned carpets during a satsang-style gathering. Most wear white kurta-style clothing with rust-red and orange shawls or stoles, and many wear beaded necklaces with ID lanyards. Some sit cross-legged, others lean back or rest their chins on their hands while looking toward the front. A man at right in white with a long rudraksha-style mala and beard sits near the foreground. At the upper left, an ornate golden throne-like seat with red cushions stands at the front of the room, and a few people sit near it. Wooden pillars, gold-trimmed ceiling panels and hanging lights frame the space. Several hundred people appear to be present, though a precise count is not clear.
