A photograph of a seated congregation at a satsang or discourse in a white-walled hall. In the foreground, young men and boys wear saffron-orange cloth draped over bare shoulders, with rudraksha malas and pendants; one has a white tilak on his forehead and another a shaved head. Behind them, many men in white kurtas and dhotis sit closely together, some wearing lanyard badges. A man in a yellow shirt sits to the right. No one is clearly identifiable as a person in this crowd, so no candidate is marked. Roughly thirty people are visible.
