A photo of a bright white room where about twenty people sit cross-legged on mats in a meditative satsang setting. In the foreground a woman in a pink salwar kameez sits with hands folded, next to a woman in a green sari and another in white with a red-bordered dupatta and a beaded necklace. Others in saffron, pink, green and maroon saris sit behind them, and a seated woman in a maroon top rests on a chair near a doorway. A row of saffron-draped ceremonial seats stands along the right wall beside a brass kalasha and a brass lamp. No a person figure is visible in the scene.

Brass lamps and small steel containers with fruit and offerings rest on a glossy floor in front of them, with a folded stack of striped mattresses and red curtains behind.

The scene conveys a devotional or meditation program with a largely female audience. No a person candidate is visible.

Many wear white clothes, some in white saris with golden borders, while several women in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas sit near the centre. A woman in a white sari with gold border and a woman in a yellow-and-white sari sit at right, and a woman in a blue sari sits among the crowd. A green backpack lies on the floor in front, and a woman in the foreground with dreadlocks and a red bindi sits with palms together.
