Indoor satsang scene in a carpeted hall with an air conditioner and a dark red curtain behind. A man with long hair swept back, wearing a red and white flower garland, an orange wrap over his shoulder and bare-chested, sits on a dark red cushioned seat holding a decorated pink and gold coconut. Probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and red flower garland, seated as a teacher. Facing him, a young boy in a white t-shirt with an orange lanyard and ID badge smiles and raises his hand near his ear. Behind them, a woman in white and gold sits smiling, and women in orange and white saris stand in the background. A tray of sweets and wrapped treats sits in front of the seat.
