A large hall with white walls, a white tiled ceiling and red curtains hung along the sides. Many seated devotees in white clothing and some in saffron and orange fill the foreground, sitting on chairs and red floor mats, facing a stage at the far end. On the stage a figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a raised red seat beside an ornate shrine with deity murtis and a kalasha-style arrangement. Framed deity portraits hang on the side walls, and speakers and ceiling fans are visible. The scene suggests a satsang gathering in progress.
