Wide view of a large bright hall during a seated satsang gathering. Rows of devotees sit on mats in orange and saffron robes and white clothing, with small brass plates of offerings and oil lamps in front of several seated women in orange saris. Aisles are divided by silver stanchions and chains. Framed portraits hang on pink walls with red curtains, and a stage area is visible at the far end. No single speaker is clearly identifiable at the front; the scene is a group gathering with people seated facing forward.
