A large seated gathering of men in plain white dhotis with red-bordered cloth and white upper wraps sits on orange mats during a satsang. Many wear rudraksha malas; several have white and red forehead markings. In the foreground a man with short dark hair and a mala sits upright facing forward, with a laptop and brass oil lamps and small brass lamps arranged on the floor nearby. Other seated devotees, some with red tilak, sit in rows behind them, and copper and brass vessels and small dishes sit on the mats. The hall is dim and the audience fills the frame.
