Crowded seated satsang audience under a white tent at a Sangha meeting. In the foreground a woman in white with an orange shawl sits beside a man in a pink-purple shirt holding a folding fan, next to a bald older man in white with a rudraksha mala and beaded necklaces. Women in saffron, orange and green saris and shawls, and many others in white, sit on chairs and the floor, some with hands folded in devotion. A few faces are partially hidden by other attendees. Nothing visible distinctively identifies a candidate as a person, and the attendees appear to be devotees seated for the gathering.
