A large tented hall with a white canvas ceiling and a small suspended speaker. Rows of devotees sit on the tiled floor and on colourful striped mats, most in saffron-orange robes, with some in white. In the foreground, several young male ascetics in orange cloth sit cross-legged, one bare-chested with a gold necklace, and another wearing a rudraksha mala. A video camera on a tripod and a cable lie at the left edge. Along the back wall, more standing and seated people watch, and a framed painting hangs on the rear wall. The gathering appears to be a satsang or discourse, though no speaker is clearly visible in frame.
