A large seated congregation fills a hall with a corrugated metal roof and bare walls, with a saffron cloth hanging from the ceiling. Most attendees wear white clothing, and some wear orange or saffron garments. Many sit cross-legged on yellow mats and grey floor mats facing the front, while others sit on mats along the right side. Several children and young adults are visible in the front rows, and a few older men sit toward the back. The room is dimly lit with fluorescent tubes and framed notices hang on the walls. No individual in the image is clearly identifiable as the swami in this scene.
