A tray with offerings is partly visible at the lower centre. Five people are visible.

A photograph of an indoor gathering in a warm-lit hall. On the right, a smiling man with dark hair tied back wears a white cloth wrap over bare shoulders and multiple rows of red and orange beaded rudraksha-style malas around his neck and wrists, and he clasps hands with a man in a white shirt and glasses. On the left, a man in a checked shirt stands with palms pressed together in namaste, and other people stand at the edges. Behind them a large framed portrait of a smiling woman with long dark hair in red clothing is displayed, with a golden ornamental backdrop. The man on the right has distinctive rudraksha adornments and a white wrap, which is a visible appearance cue, but the image is not clear enough to confirm identity, so a person is set to unsure. Visible people number about four to five.2011-11-07A photograph of a satsang-style gathering in an indoor hall.
