A large group of young men in plain white clothes sits cross-legged in rows on a blue and striped mat inside a hall with a concrete floor. Many wear white kurtas or shirts and beaded necklaces, some with rudraksha-style malas, and several have hands folded in their laps. They face forward toward an unseen front, with a white curtain and an elevated platform visible at the back. The scene resembles a meditation or satsang session. No single figure is clearly identifiable as the a person in this crowd.

A photograph of a large hall where many devotees sit cross-legged on striped mats in meditation, eyes closed, hands resting on their knees or laps. Most wear white kurtas or white shirts and trousers; a man in the foreground centre has a bald head and a white shirt, and a bearded man at left wears a white t-shirt. A woman in a pale pink sleeveless top and teal trousers sits near the left, and a man in a teal shirt sits to the right. Behind them, golden statues and a deity murti stand on a raised altar, with red chairs lining the far wall. No candidate for a person is visible among those seated, so the scene shows a satsang or meditation session with devotees.
