Photograph of a seated satsang in a pink-walled hall with a white marble floor. Many saffron-robed sannyasis and devotees sit cross-legged in a wide circle, several wearing orange or saffron turbans and rudraksha malas. One bearded man in a long orange robe stands near the doorway at left-centre. Behind them hang painted devotional pictures of deities, and a cluster of pastel balloons decorates the top of the wall. Bright daylight enters through the windows at right, and white-clad attendants move along the edge of the room.
