A photograph of devotees seated on striped red-and-blue mats in a white-walled hall during a satsang. In the foreground a shaved-headed man in white kurta wears rudraksha mala and a red tilak, with palms pressed together in anjali. Behind him a man in white with a rudraksha mala sits with hands raised in prayer, and another man in white with glasses and a rudraksha mala sits to the right. A water bottle and a small booklet lie on the mat, and a green-and-grey cloth sits nearby. The page indicates a person session, but the foreground man shows no distinctive a person cues, so identity is uncertain.
