A large tented hall filled with seated devotees on red and orange mats, many in saris, salwar kameez and white clothing. Colourful hanging decorations of tassels and paper lanterns fill the ceiling. Two large screens show crowds. At the front, a standing figure in orange robes near a golden shrine area, and bare-chested men in white dhoti standing at right. The scene suggests a satsang or group session, with the speaker's identity not established by visible cues.
