Photograph from behind a speaker in a saffron-and-gold sari with a rudraksha mala, standing at the front of a large hall while seated audience members in white and colourful clothes sit on red mats facing forward. Rows of seated devotees fill the room under bright ceiling lights, with red curtains along the walls. Many attendees hold pink and white fans, and some have booklets on the mats. A few people in orange and maroon robes sit near the front left. The speaker's face is not visible, so no identification is made from appearance; the figure is described by role as a speaker addressing satsang.
