A row of devotees sits cross-legged on an orange cloth at a satsang, hands pressed together in anjali mudra. They wear white clothes with orange shawls or lanyards and rudraksha-style beaded malas. Several have visible ID badges on lanyards, and one woman has an earpiece. Behind them stand a colourful painted backdrop and a few partially visible people. Bare feet rest on the cloth, and yellow ritual items sit at the left edge.
