A large indoor gathering of people dressed in white clothing, many wearing yellow lanyards with name badges, seated on mats on the floor in rows facing a standing man in a white kurta at right who gestures with his hand, apparently speaking to the group. Hanging banners with elephant motifs in red, yellow and dark brown decorate the white tent-like ceiling, and a wall clock and a sign reading Mukta Kalpa? are visible behind. Some attendees sit on chairs at left, one woman wears a white T-shirt printed with YOGAM, and a few bald men sit in the foreground. The scene appears to be a satsang or discourse session with participants listening attentively.
