Photograph of a group of devotees standing in a row with palms pressed together in namaste inside a plain whitewashed hall with a concrete floor. The people on the left wear white kurta-style clothing and rudraksha malas; the man at far left has short curly grey hair and glasses, and a younger man beside him has long light-brown hair. Several women in white salwar-style clothing stand with hands joined, some wearing red-and-gold bangles. Behind them, hanging cloths in red, brown and orange and a yellow banner decorate the wall. At right, a man in white clothes with an orange shawl stands by an open wooden door. Such a satsang-style gathering suggests a session with delegates.
