A dim indoor hall with a corrugated metal roof, photographed from behind a crowd of seated devotees. In the foreground, shaved-headed men and women in saffron and orange robes with gold borders sit close together, some wearing rudraksha malas. At the centre, on a raised silver-decorated seat beneath an ornate silver parasol, a figure in orange clothing with a garland sits facing the assembly with hands folded. A few people in white stand near the platform, and decorative hangings line the walls. The setting suggests a Guru Purnima satsang at the Dhyanapeetam.
