A large hall with wooden panelling and yellow arched wall panels hosts a seated ritual gathering. Rows of people sit cross-legged on a blue floor covering, many in saffron-orange robes and white garments, some with rudraksha malas and red-orange shawls, with banana-leaf offerings and small bowls before them. At the front left, a gold ornate throne-like seat stands beside a plant and a projector screen. Several attendees in the foreground have hands folded in anjali, and many seated devotees have hands joined in prayer. The scene suggests a puja or satsang with seated participants.2014-12-28A seated congregation faces a raised stage with ornate gold-and-red thrones inside a marble-walled hall.

Many seated devotees surround the throne, mostly in white and red-bordered clothing with red shawls, holding small lit oil lamps and brass plates. Several men in white dhoti-style garments sit in the foreground, and a woman in a lavender sari sits near the throne. The scene suggests a puja or darshan.
