A photograph inside a bare, whitewashed hall with a corrugated metal roof, where a young man in white clothing and an orange shawl sits on a white plastic chair at the front and speaks to a seated audience. About fourteen people in white and light clothing sit cross-legged on green and brown mats, some women wearing saris with red and orange borders and a woman in pink with a red flower in her hair. A banner on the back wall reads a programme title about Guru Hawan, Mantra and Akshar Training, with circular photos of ritual fire and devotees. The scene suggests a satsang or training session, with the speaker's role as teacher or instructor.
