Indoor hall with a plain concrete block wall, a wooden door, and a standing fan. A seated figure in a bright orange shawl sits on a white-covered sofa, face partly lowered, barefoot. In front on orange mats, several men in white dhotis with orange shawls sit with palms pressed together in anjali, and another in orange stands behind a metal stand at left. A large black speaker is at the lower right. Setting suggests a darshan or healing session. The seated figure wears a plain orange shawl with no visible crown, rudraksha mala or ornate adornment, so the appearance does not support identification; the figure is described by role only.
