A seated satsang hall full of devotees dressed mostly in white, many with hands raised to their eyes as if holding small objects, apparently in a guided eye-focusing practice. In the foreground, two men in white kurtas with red-and-white name badges, one wearing a rudraksha mala, hold small objects to their eyes while looking upward. Red curtains line the back wall, with rows of red chairs and red mats, and a few people in dark clothing are visible. Overall, a crowded meditation session in a large meeting hall.
