A photograph of a satsang hall with a tin roof and ceiling fans. A figure in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on a raised platform in front of a golden throne-like seat and a framed backdrop of trees. Seated devotees fill the floor in rows, mostly men in white and light shirts with some women in saris, while a row of red plastic chairs at the right holds more attendees. Colourful decorative hangings with bird motifs hang from the walls. The scene shows a seated discourse. The figure in orange has a distinctive saffron robe and sits centrally facing the audience, but face and features are not clearly visible enough to confirm identity, so the candidate is marked uncertain.
