A large indoor satsang hall with a glossy polished floor and pink walls, where a seated audience faces a stage at the front. Rows of black chairs with red seat cushions hold many attendees, mostly women in white and cream saris, one in orange and one in teal, plus a few men in white. Several figures in white and orange sit on a low platform at the front. Hanging orange and multicolour tassel banners decorate the walls, and a projection screen is visible on the upper right. The scene shows a public talk session.

A large indoor satsang hall with a white draped fabric ceiling and tall cylindrical banners striped in red, blue, white and orange hanging from above. Hundreds of seated devotees fill black plastic chairs facing a stage at the far end. Many wear white garments, while others wear pink, red, orange and saffron sarees. On the stage, several ornate deity murti and decorated ritual setups are arranged in front of a dark blue draped backdrop, with flanking screens. The crowd is far too large and distant to count individuals; the front rows show most visible people from behind.
