Photograph inside a open-sided tin-roofed hall with exposed steel trusses and paper crane-like hanging decorations. In the centre-right, a figure with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange sleeveless robe and holds out a hand toward a man in a black jacket with an orange shawl, who raises a hand in blessing gesture. Beside them a bald man in a saffron robe stands at right, and a gold-coloured ceremonial object sits on an orange-draped table. Around them, several men in white shirts and dhotis stand with hands folded in namaskar and watch. A wall poster to the left reads partly in English. Figures are standing and arranged close together, reflecting a satsang or darshan-style gathering.
