Indoor photo in a wood-panelled room with a red carpet. In the foreground, a young man in a black Adidas track jacket with white stripes and a dark patterned scarf sits on a green chair, smiling and holding hands with a person in a saffron-orange turban and orange robe whose long dark curly hair is visible below the turban; that person's face is turned away from the camera. Behind them, a group of women and a few men stand watching: a woman in a green sari with a red border and red shawl, a woman in a pink salwar kameez, a woman in a grey Army sweatshirt, and others in dark and pastel clothing.

Several other attendees are visible in the background.2006-05-12July 26 20112011-07-26 +1 copiesA photograph of an indoor satsang gathering in a bare room with unfinished walls and exposed ceiling pipes.
