A large indoor hall filled with hundreds of seated participants with raised arms, many with palms open toward the ceiling, in a devotional or meditative gathering. Men in white dhoti and cream kurta with gold-bordered shawls, and a man in a yellow shirt, wear rudraksha malas. Participants sit on colourful striped mats over a red carpet. Hanging paper lanterns and large screens showing the crowd are visible above. No individual at the front is clearly identifiable as a specific presenter; the scene reads as a satsang or group meditation with arms raised.
