A large indoor hall filled with seated devotees in white ritual clothing for a satsang gathering. Most men wear white dhoti-style cloths with red-and-gold borders and thin white shawls over bare shoulders; several wear white shirts and lanyards. Some have vibhuti or sandalwood marks on their foreheads and rudraksha malas around their necks. Women in white and pale saris sit among them. Small oil lamps stand on the mats in front, and saffron and orange cloth hangs from the ceiling beams. Windows and white walls frame the room. A blue emblem with a white bird appears in the upper corner. Visible people are seated in rows, facing forward toward the unseen speaker. The crowd is too large to count precisely.
