A seated crowd of devotees fills a hall, many raising their hands high in the air during a satsang-style gathering. Most wear white or saffron-orange dhotis and shawls, some with rudraksha malas and gold-toned necklaces; a bald man in a white shirt and one in a grey shirt sit toward the right, a man in a pink shirt stands at the far right, and a foreground man in a blue t-shirt raises his hand. A large framed portrait of a figure in red and orange robes hangs on the back wall beside a grid of framed photographs, and a gold-framed photo sits at the top left. Brass railing posts stand in the lower left foreground.
