A seated audience fills a pink-walled hall during a satsang-style discourse. Many people sit cross-legged on striped mats, dressed mostly in white with rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. A woman in a bright yellow dress and white top sits near the front, smiling. Behind them, a golden ornate chair or peetha stands beside gilded figures and decorative sculptures, and orange and multicolored banners hang from the ceiling. Several people in the back row rest on chairs. No clear leader is visible on the throne area in this frame.
