A seated man in an orange robe and orange turban sits on a low wooden sofa in a brick-walled hall, holding a long stick and rudraksha beads, facing a seated audience. Around him, a group of about twenty people sit on the floor and on cushions, many wearing orange shawls; some wear saffron scarves and others wear everyday clothes. A low wooden table with a small vase, a bottle of water and papers sits in front of him, and a white-covered table with a microphone stands behind. The scene looks like a session or satsang with participants.
