Many attendees, mostly women in saris and salwar kameez in red, maroon, orange, yellow, pink and magenta, sit beside men in button-up shirts and jackets, one man wears a white cap.

The camera-side foreground shows a woman in white and a man in glasses and white attire, and a standing man in a light shirt moves along the aisle. The setting suggests a satsang or discourse audience with the speaker off-frame.
