A dense seated congregation fills the frame during a darshan session at a Hindu ashram hall. Many men sit close together in white dhotis and shirts, some with saffron or orange shawls, and several wear rudraksha malas and forehead marks of sacred ash. A bare-chested man in the centre-left wears a white dhoti and a rudraksha mala, and a man with long curly hair in a yellow graphic t-shirt and a red-beaded mala sits at right. A bald man in white in the centre has his hands folded in namaste in the foreground, and some attendees have their eyes closed in meditation. No single presiding figure, throne or deity is clearly visible in this crowd view.
