A satsang hall with white walls and a striped mat on the floor, where a large seated audience of women in saris and men fills the room. In the foreground, four seated men in saffron or orange robes and rudraksha malas clap and smile, and one bald man wears a red tilak. A man in white dhoti and shirt bends forward with hands raised near the front of the mat. Brass items and a small hand drum sit on the floor in front, and a dark bag rests at the right edge. Orange and red fabric drapes hang at the top of the room. No candidate for a person is clearly distinguishable from appearance, so identity is left uncertain.
