A large hall filled with seated devotees on blue-and-white striped mats during a Bhagavad Gita satsang. Many men and boys wear white kurta-style clothes, while others wear orange, yellow and grey garments; a few have saffron or green head coverings and rudraksha malas. Several people sit on the floor in rows facing the front, and red curtains hang beneath framed portraits along the back wall. At the far end, an orange-robed figure stands near the front, but no appearance cues allow a confident identification, so the figure is described only by role. Ceiling lights and small brass lamps are visible on the floor near the front rows.
