A large seated audience fills a bright hall during a satsang or discourse. Many women wear white and cream saris with gold borders, while several wear saffron-orange garments with rudraksha malas. Some people sit with palms pressed together in namaste and others clap. Wooden chairs and a few benches are visible, and a yellow-lit lamp or object sits at the lower right corner. The camera is close to the front rows, and the back of the hall holds more seated attendees and framed pictures on the walls.
