A session in an indoor hall where a long-haired figure in orange and maroon drapes, with a rudraksha-style neck mala, sits cross-legged on a red cushioned seat holding a microphone and raising one hand. Before them sit a large group of children and young devotees in saffron and orange robes, several with orange or white turbans and rudraksha malas, seated on the floor in rows. Some adults stand or sit at the back near white plastic chairs, and cabinets and a wooden lattice partition line the walls. The scene resembles a teaching or satsang session with a speaker addressing the group.
