Indoor satsang hall under a tented ceiling with orange and white drapes. A central figure wears a rust-red turban, long dark hair, a layered gold-and-beaded necklace, and an orange-red robe with a gold border; the figure holds a curved walking staff and appears to be handing papers or a small item to those nearby. Another seated person in a saffron-orange robe and beaded mala reaches forward, and several men in orange and yellow turbans and sashes stand or sit around, some holding white papers. To the left, an altar displays deity images and a golden framed picture under green and red hangings.
