A photograph of a satsang session in a hall with peach walls, white curtains and a potted palm. A long-haired person in orange robes and a rudraksha-style beaded necklace sits on an orange-draped armchair, with a microphone stand and a small oil lamp on a side table. Around them, a group of devotees in white and orange shawls sit on striped mats, some in white clothing, facing the speaker. A framed portrait with a garland hangs on the back wall. The label 'a person' applies to the seated figure given the flowing hair, orange robes and beaded necklace, though the appearance is only moderately distinctive.
