Large indoor hall with pink walls and a suspended ceiling, filled with seated devotees on the floor in rows. Front rows hold people in white kurtas with red-and-saffron shawls and white garments, many with palms pressed together or holding small lamps, seated on green mats before banana-leaf plates with offerings and small steel cups. Others in orange and saffron robes sit at left and right, some with hands folded in prayer. A large screen and framed photo panels hang on the walls, and a figure in saffron stands at the far right near a camera on a tripod. Appears to be a group puja or satsang gathering with food offerings laid out.
