A large open-sided hall with white draped ceiling and tall white side curtains holds a seated congregation of many people in white ritual clothes and red-orange shawls, some with red lanyards. Rows of red-cushioned chairs stand in the foreground, with devotees seated on the floor. At the front, a decorated altar holds a deity murti on a golden throne beside a seated figure and tall brass lamps, with a kalasha and ornate umbrellas, and a green backdrop of leafy foliage. The scene suggests a satsang or darshan session.
