A large seated congregation fills an indoor hall at a satsang, most people sitting cross-legged on orange mats with their eyes closed or heads bowed in prayer. Men in white shirts, cream kurtas and dark polo shirts predominate; a man in a dark shirt in the centre holds his hands together in namaste, and a man in a white t-shirt sits with his head bowed. Several wear ID badges on lanyards. In the foreground, a blurred figure with a shaved head holds a lit oil lamp, its flame glowing at the lower right. Warm lamplight and pillars frame the background. No identifiable a person figure is visible.
