A large hall packed with seated devotees, most wearing red-orange turbans and orange-red shawls, facing a distant stage. Two front-row participants smile broadly: a woman in an orange-red turban and orange shawl with a rudraksha-style mala, and a woman in a red turban and red shawl wearing gold-toned beaded necklaces and bangles, one hand raised. Ceiling chandeliers, wall-mounted screens showing the crowd, and a floral backdrop with a decorated throne-like seat sit at the far end of the room. Many attendees appear to be older Western participants with grey hair. A visible stage figure is too small to assess reliably.
