A photograph of a Bhagavad Gita satsang in an open-sided hall with an orange-painted wall and a corrugated roof with ceiling fans. Many seated devotees sit on mats and rugs, most in white shirts and trousers, with some in dark or casual clothes; a child in a blue top sits in front. A woman in a yellow sari stands at the left near a small orange-topped altar table. Colourful fabric-wrapped hanging cylinders decorate the ceiling and a metal railing separates the front rows. A framed poster is on the wall behind. No individual can be confidently identified as the a person from appearance here, so no candidate is identified.
