A large covered hall with an orange-painted interior and a long red carpet runs down the centre toward a raised seat at the far end. Rows of seated devotees fill both sides behind stainless steel railings, many women in saris and salwar kameez, and men in white and cream kurtas. Hanging decorations of cloth panels and paper-fold ornaments line the ceiling. At the far end, a robed figure in white sits near a golden throne-like seat, and a standing attendant in white dhoti stands near a decorated pillar at right. Framed photographs hang on the walls.

Devotees sit on the floor of a covered orange-walled hall during a satsang, many with hands pressed together in namaskar. Most wear white ritual clothing; a woman in a green and gold sari sits on the front-left mat beside a red carpet, and a man in a red shirt sits to the right. Tall cylindrical banners in red, yellow and blue patterns hang along the room, and framed panels line the walls. At the far right edge, a figure in saffron and white stands near a wooden lectern. No clearly distinctive appearance cues establish his identity, so he is described only by role.

Rows of devotees sit on the floor and on white plastic chairs along both sides of a central aisle covered with a red carpet and bordered by steel railings. Many wear white clothes; women wear saris and salwar in red, pink, cream and green, and some have red shawls. Framed photographs and text panels line the walls. At the far end, a brightly lit altar with a decorated shrine and red drapery is visible. The scene appears to be a satsang or pada puja gathering. Roughly fifty people are visible.
