A large indoor hall filled with seated devotees, most wearing white clothing, sitting cross-legged on the floor at what appears to be an evening convention. Many are young women and girls in white salwar-style or sari-style outfits, with some in colourful saris and salwars in orange, pink and blue. A few boys in white shirts sit at the front left. Rows of attendees stretch back toward a distant stage area, and a few standing figures in white are visible among the crowd.

Pink flower garlands lie along the floor edge in front of the rows, with small books or booklets placed on the ground. Behind them, stands of ornamental lattice windows line the pale walls, and more participants sit farther back, with a lone figure standing near the stage area at the far right.

A large crowd of devotees sits on the floor in a hall, most dressed in white, with some wearing saffron or orange shawls and others in green, maroon and floral cotton saris. Many wear beaded necklaces and bangles, and several have hair in long braids. They look toward a stage at the front, where a large portrait and a small decorated altar are visible near the top of the frame. The room is dimly lit and the seated attendees fill nearly the whole picture.
