A photograph of a seated group during a teaching or satsang. In the foreground, a woman in a pink and white striped top sits beside a large white paper chart with handwritten notes. Behind the table, several monks or devotees wear saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas, and one in a maroon robe holds a microphone. On a golden wooden table in front of them stands a set of small metal deity murti figures in colourful painted cloth: blue, red, green, yellow and white, with one seated on a bull. Other people's heads are partly visible in the lower frame. No clearly identifiable a person figure is present.
