A large hall filled with seated devotees during a satsang. In the foreground a man in white ritual clothes with a red tilak sits with his hand to his mouth, watching ahead. Around him, boys in maroon robes with gold-bordered shawls and white forehead bands sit on the floor, some with hands clasped or resting on their faces. Other attendees wear white shirts, black shirts and dhotis, and a few wear rudraksha malas. Colourful woven and tasselled hangings with orange fringe decorate the upper walls and a window. Behind the crowd, people stand near the back and orange cushioned seats line the right side. Plastic bottles, a small cloth bag and rolled mats sit on the floor at the lower right.
