A photograph of a seated gathering inside a plain hall with cream walls and a polished floor. In the foreground, a young man in orange robes and a draped orange cloth sits on the left, and a person in orange robes with a bare back and yellow-edged cloth sits on the right. Behind them, older men in white shirts and dhotis, some with bare chests, sit on plastic chairs with sacred ash and red tilak marks. A man in an orange shirt stands at the back holding a small object, and a few other people move near a doorway. The mood is a relaxed sit-down satsang among devotees and sannyasis, with no visible deity, throne or ritual fire.
