A seated audience fills rows of blue chairs in a bright hall during a devotional event. Many people sit with palms pressed together in anjali mudra, a gesture of reverence. Men wear white kurtas, saffron and orange shirts, and white sleeveless robes; women wear saris and salwar kameez in pink, magenta, blue, teal and red, some with bindis and beaded necklaces. A bald man in the foreground wears white with a white forehead mark and a rudraksha-style mala, while a woman in a blue salwar kameez beside him claps. Pale walls, an arched doorway and a colourful textile hanging at the right edge frame the scene. The scene appears to be a satsang or darshan gathering.
