A large hall at an ashram, with a white ceiling draped in yellow and multicoloured decorative cylinders. Many devotees sit cross-legged on blue, purple and green mats, arranged in rows, with brass plates, small lamps and offering trays before them. Most wear white or light clothing, some with mala necklaces. Several people stand and walk among the seated rows, and a wall clock and framed notices are visible at the right edge. The atmosphere suggests a group puja or meditation session.
