Indoor satsang scene in a wood-panelled hall. In the foreground, a bowed woman in a red blouse with bare arms and a bangle wears a long garland of white and orange marigolds around her neck, her head lowered. A man in a white kurta with embroidered patterns leans forward, placing his hand on her head in a blessing gesture. Behind them, other people in white and cream clothing stand, and a woman in a yellow sari with a red-bordered head covering appears at right. A framed picture hangs on the wall and a tall brass lamp stands near the centre.
