A large seated audience of women fills a hall during a satsang, many with hands pressed together in anjali mudra or clapping. A smiling woman in the centre wears a white saree with a red-brown rudraksha mala and a bindi. Others wear saffron, pink, teal and multicoloured saris and shawls, several with malas and kumkum on their foreheads. Rows of seated participants sit on colourful mats, with a stage and white draped panels visible at the back. No ceremonial figure in saffron or ornate garments is clearly identifiable among the visible people.
