A large group of seated devotees in white and rust-red clothing fills an indoor hall during a satsang or meditation session. In the foreground, a woman in a white kurta with gold jewellery sits cross-legged on a white mat, with a curly-haired boy in a white dhoti-style garment beside her. A woman on the right wears a rust-red sari with gold border and a rudraksha mala. Others wear white with red shawls, and marigold flowers and a small incense stick sit on a yellow cloth at left. No individual is identified as a person, and the view shows only the audience, not a central teacher.
