A seated audience of men and a few women sits on striped cloth mats at a satsang or discourse. Foreground: a young man in a white dhoti with a bare upper body, gold-brown arm bands, and a sacred thread, holding a notepad and pen, with a bag beside him. Beside him, a smiling man in a light green shirt claps. Behind them, men in white kurtas, a man in a bright red-orange shirt, a bald man in a pink kurta, and a woman in orange and pink saris. Many wear name badges. Saffron-tipped wooden staves stand at the back. Hands are clasped and smiles are visible; no speaker is in frame.
