Photo from a seated satsang hall with fluorescent ceiling lights. A barefoot figure seen from behind walks down a central aisle covered by a striped multicolour runner. The figure wears a rust-red wrap, has very long dark dreadlocked hair, and a wide rust-coloured rudraksha-style necklace at the neck. In the hand is a small golden ceremonial implement. Seated devotees line both sides, including a woman in a rust-orange shawl, people in white garments with gold-bordered shawls, and a man in a white shirt on the left. A trident stands against the left wall near a backdrop and a partly visible framed display.
