A photograph of a seated congregation in a covered hall with orange walls and a corrugated roof. Many devotees in white dhotis and white shirts sit cross-legged on mats and blue plastic chairs, some with rudraksha malas and ID badges on lanyards. Several wear orange or saffron clothing. Tall painted cloth banners with red, green and blue geometric patterns, dove emblems and yellow flowers hang from the ceiling. Metal railings and a chain separate the seated rows from a standing area. The scene appears to be a formal gathering or satsang; no person is identified as a person.
