A large indoor hall packed with seated devotees on white chairs, facing a stage at the front. Many men wear white kurtas and dhotis with orange or red shawls and rudraksha-style garlands, while women wear saris and salwar kameez in pink, yellow, orange, and teal. Two large screens above the stage show a close-up of a figure in orange and red robes with long dark hair, surrounded by ornate decorations. A pale-blue wall plaque and gold kalasha-style brass ornaments hang on the walls. A man in a yellow turban sits near the front, and the scene suggests satsang or a Deepam gathering in an ashram temple hall.
