Indoor hall scene at a satsang gathering. A man in an orange-and-gold turban, red-gold silk garment, thick beaded rudraksha-style mala necklaces and gold arm bands stands at centre-right, receiving a folded paper from a bearded man in white kurta with a red shawl. The central figure, wearing ornate ceremonial dress, appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by the distinctive turban, ceremonial gold jewellery and mala garlands, though his face is not used for identification. Around them, white-clad devotees with red shawls and rudraksha malas press forward; a boy in white in the foreground folds his hands in namaste. A red carpet runs down the aisle, with a wooden lectern at the right edge and red curtains and wall posters behind.
