Indoor satsang in an ashram hall where a crowd of devotees sits cross-legged on blue mats facing a figure seated at the left edge, behind a microphone stand and a cream cushioned seat. Many devotees wear white clothes with saffron-orange shawls, and one man in front wears a rudraksha mala and white kurta. A video camera operator stands at the back near framed portraits and banners on the walls. The seated speaker's face and details are not clearly visible, and the figure is only partly in frame, so the appearance-based label is uncertain.
