A photograph of a satsang-style Q&A session held in an open-sided hall with a corrugated roof and rough grey block wall. A person in orange robes stands at the front beside a microphone stand, addressing a seated audience on striped woven mats. Behind them is a stone altar with a deity murti of Shiva and Parvati with red fabric draped beside it. Many seated attendees wear white, cream and light clothing, a man in a red shirt sits in front, and a woman in a pink shawl sits near the right. A figure in orange stands at the far left edge. The front-facing speaker's face is not visible, so the a person field is unsure.
