A photograph of an indoor satsang setting. A man with hair tied in a bun, wearing an orange-gold dhoti and a long rudraksha mala, sits on red cloth beside a gold-coloured sculpted head, extending his hand toward a young boy in a white turban, white shirt and red-and-white checked trousers who holds up both palms. Behind them, several women in white and orange-lanyard badges stand watching, and a floral-garlanded deity murti with a painted seascape sits to the left. A white-clad man and a seated woman appear in the background.
