A seated audience of women fills a hall with red-and-cream walls during a satsang. Many wear white or cream saris and salwar; one young woman in front wears a yellow-gold sari with a rudraksha mala and white tilak markings, smiling. A woman at right in a white sari raises her hand high while smiling, and another in a red-bordered white sari claps with palms together. Several women wear bangles, earrings and rudraksha malas. Devotees sit on red-and-white striped mats, some holding notebooks and water bottles. No speaker is clearly visible; the audience appears joyful and engaged.
