A large indoor satsang hall packed with seated devotees, viewed from behind the crowd. Many people wear white dhotis and shawls, while others wear saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas; some men are bare-chested. At the front, a man in red and gold clothing sits on an ornate throne-like seat with a raised platform, with a microphone stand nearby. Several large screens on the walls show a figure in similar attire, and framed portraits and deity images hang on the walls. Water bottles and small bags rest among the seated participants on the floor.

In the upper right, a long-haired man in a rust-red robe with a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne, appearing to address the gathering; the cues are long hair, a rudraksha mala and a red robe, so this is a probable Swamiji in person. Attendees hold small brass or decorative items and bottled water sits on the floor. A large portrait is visible on the rear wall, and a man with a shaved head in white sits near the lower right foreground. Fans and a camera tripod are visible at the back.2017-08-05 +1 copiesA large indoor satsang hall packed with seated participants in white clothes and red shawls, viewed from behind.
