A large seated congregation fills a hall at a satsang, with many women in white, cream, saffron, pink and green saris and rudraksha malas seated closely on the floor in rows. Several women in front have hands folded in namaskar or palms joined while others sit with eyes closed in meditation. Behind them rows of red chairs line the far side and a gilded ornamental canopy or throne stands at the upper right beside a figure in a pink sari. A blue sign on the back wall reads audio recording, with a second line in another script. Some men in white kurtas sit among the crowd near the back, and a small brass plate with offerings rests in the foreground.
