A large indoor hall filled with seated devotees facing toward the front of the room. Most men wear white shirts and white dhotis with orange saffron shawls draped over their shoulders, and several wear rudraksha malas. Many are smiling or in folded-hand namaskar. Balconies above are packed with more people watching. Ceiling fans, white pillars, green-and-white ceiling panels and hanging string lights frame the scene, with a speaker and camera tripod visible at the sides. No one in the foreground can be clearly identified as the a person, so the scene reads as a satsang or discourse with devotees.
