A photograph of a hall-style satsang with a seated audience on orange and blue mats across a terracotta-tiled floor. At left, a person in an orange robe with a head wrap stands behind a white podium holding a microphone, with a water bottle and a brass vase of pink flowers on the podium. Rows of mostly women in white clothes sit cross-legged, some in saffron or pink saris, while a man in white sits at right. A framed picture and a deity image hang on the white wall, with ceiling fans and tube lights overhead. Appearance-based label: the speaker's presentation is consistent with a sannyasi, but the face is not visible enough to confirm identity, so this is unsure.
