A seated group of devotees in white dhotis and white kurtas or saris, many with red or orange shawls and rudraksha malas, fills colourful striped mats in a hall. Several have hands in anjali mudra or sit in meditation. A man in orange wrap stands near a tripod-mounted video camera at the front, beside a green backdrop and a standing attendant in white. Water bottles sit on the mats. The setting suggests a satsang or puja gathering.
