A large indoor gathering of devotees seated on the floor in a hall, many with hands pressed together in anjali mudra as in satsang or darshan. Most wear white dhotis and orange or saffron robes, with rudraksha malas around their necks and white vibhuti or tilak marks on their foreheads. Several young boys in orange cloth sit in the front rows, and a man in the centre wears a bare upper body with rudraksha malas and a white dhoti, hands joined. A man with long curly hair and a beard in the centre, wearing a saffron shawl over a bare chest and rudraksha malas, is sitting among the devotees with hands pressed together. Pale pink mats cover parts of the floor, and the background shows more seated attendees in white and orange clothing.
