Wide photo of a large hall with a seated congregation on the floor of a satsang or discourse. In the front rows, several young boys and a few men wear saffron and orange robes, rudraksha malas and white tilak marks on their foreheads, and sit on floor mats. Behind them rows of adults in white clothes and some in orange shawls fill the hall, with a woman in a cream sari in the right foreground. Red curtains line the walls and ceiling fans hang above. No individual is clearly identifiable as the a person from appearance, so the candidate is unsure.
