A photograph of an indoor satsang hall with a maroon velvet curtain backdrop. A shaved-headed man in orange-saffron robes sits cross-legged on a white raised platform at the left, with a speaker box beside him. Standing centre-stage, a woman in a white saree with a red-and-gold border holds a microphone and speaks to a seated audience. Rows of women in colourful sarees and salwar kameez sit on the floor facing the stage, some with long braids and flowers in their hair. A projector screen is visible at the upper right. Whether the saffron-robed man is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the identity is recorded as unsure.
