Indoor photo of a seated assembly on a blue-and-white striped mat in a hall with pink walls and chairs along the back. In the foreground a shaved-headed man in white dhoti with gold border and rudraksha mala sits beside a bald man in orange robes with a mala, hand to his chin. Behind them, rows of men in white dhotis with gold borders and malas sit attentively, and a man in pink shirt and a woman in light clothing sit in chairs at the back. The scene appears to be a satsang or group ritual gathering.

A seated satsang audience fills a hall with wooden-panelled walls, many people wearing headphones for translation.

Beside him a man in white clothing sits with palms pressed together, and a man in white with a gold-bordered shawl sits with hands clasped. Behind them rows of devotees wear white, orange and red garments, and a striped mat and small plastic container lie before them.

In the foreground, a man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala with a gold pendant sits with palms pressed together in prayer, beside a shaved-headed man in white with gold-bordered dhoti and vibhuti on his forehead. Rows of white-clad devotees sit on striped mats behind them, with a few in orange, and more people seated at the back of the hall. Metal stanchions divide the seating area and a red-orange cloth hangs on the left. Many attendees wear white kurtas or dhotis and some carry rudraksha malas. No one is clearly identifiable as a person from the visible cues alone.

In the foreground, a man in orange saffron robes with rudraksha mala and a tilak listens attentively. Behind them, a whiteboard and a maroon cloth backdrop; at upper right a man in orange clothing stands. A small green bowl and a small wooden stand are visible on the floor, along with a handheld device held by one seated man.
