A photograph of a satsang gathering in a hall with red curtains and rows of red-cushioned chairs in the background. In the centre, a shaved-headed man with white paste marks on his forehead and arms wears a saffron-orange cloth draped over his shoulders, many strands of rudraksha beads around his neck and rudraksha bracelets on his wrists. He stands with palms pressed together in anjali, a devotional gesture. Around him, devotees in white dhotis and collared shirts also stand with hands folded, including a man in white on the right and a boy in a red-patterned shirt behind him. Some attendees on the left wear white dhotis and sacred threads.
