A large seated congregation of bare-chested men in white dhotis fills a hall, many with white vibhuti stripes on their foreheads, arms and chests, and rudraksha or tulsi-style beaded malas and white necklaces. Many sit cross-legged on a pale floor, some with hands folded, some with eyes closed in meditation, and one older man in front covers his face with his hands. An orange cloth bag sits beside a seated man in the foreground. Behind them, framed photographs cover the wall and a red stage curtain and warm lamp glow appear at the far end. Several hundred people are visible.

In the foreground a bald man in an orange-red robe with a beaded mala sits upright, and to his right a man in white with a red-orange garland smiles beside others holding folded hands. Background rows continue toward the back wall, and a few people stand near a doorway. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person, so the scene reads as a satsang-style seated assembly of devotees and priests.2015-08-09February 22 20172017-02-22A large seated congregation fills a hall at a Vijaya Dashami satsang.
