A photograph of a seated congregation in a marble-walled hall facing a raised area where a saffron-robed figure sits on a red cushion, flanked by other saffron-clad sannyasis. Behind them, golden ceremonial staffs and a brass railing frame a shrine. Devotees sit on white sheets wearing white kurtas, orange and red shawls, and dark clothes; a man in a red shirt stands near the doors on the left. Some people hold phones or bags, and a blonde woman in white sits in the lower right foreground. The setting resembles a satsang gathering.
