A large hall filled with seated devotees, mostly in white dhotis and white saris with red or maroon headbands, sitting on the floor in rows facing a central dais. A figure seated at the front in orange-red clothing with a long swept-back hairstyle appears to lead the session; the pictured figure's identity is unconfirmed from appearance alone. Two large screens show a portrait of a figure in red robes, and framed pictures line the pink walls. Several participants wear red headbands and some wear bare-chested white attire. Overhead fluorescent lights and ceiling fans are visible.2017-05-01December 31 20152015-12-31August 23 20142014-08-23October 16 20162016-10-16November 22 20152015-11-22May 01 20172017-05-01A large seated congregation fills a bright hall with pink-washed walls during a satsang-style gathering.
