Rows of people sit on striped multicoloured mats, many in orange and saffron robes, some with bare shoulders and rudraksha malas, with banana-leaf plates and small cups set before them. Seated people in white clothes and orange shawls sit near the front, some with hands folded in prayer. At the far end, a canopy with umbrellas frames a central platform where figures in white and orange gather. Two large screens show a colourful deity image, and a framed photo wall with a display sign hangs on the right. The scene shows a group satsang or puja with shared meals.
