Inside a plain white-walled hall, a large group of men in white shirts and white dhotis sits cross-legged on floor mats and striped rugs, facing a seated man in white. Behind him stands a framed portrait of a figure in orange robes labelled as a deity-like portrait, flanked by brass lamps and a white-covered seat with a red chair. A television on a cabinet at left shows a bright screen, and a few women in light saris sit at right. The scene resembles a group satsang or discourse. A standing man in white at far left looks on.
