A large seated audience fills a hall with cream walls and framed pictures. In the foreground, many young boys and teenagers in saffron-orange robes sit cross-legged on the floor, wearing rudraksha malas and white markings on their foreheads and bodies; one boy in front wears a white dhoti-style cloth. Behind them, adults and devotees sit on white chairs and floor mats. On the back wall, a large red-framed image shows a seated figure with raised arms against a red backdrop, and a few people in white and orange stand near the stage area. The scene reads as a satsang or discourse gathering.
