A large seated congregation fills a hall with cream walls and framed photo panels, attending a satsang. Many devotees sit cross-legged on mats and rugs, many in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas and white tilak marks on their foreheads, while others wear white or colourful clothing. Several shaved-headed young men and boys sit in the foreground, one with a white-trimmed orange cloth, and women in saris sit among them. A man in a light saffron robe near the right middle is seated with hands folded. No single speaker at the front is clearly identifiable from this angle, and no one is distinctly marked as a person by appearance.
