A morning satsang hall with red curtains and red-cushioned chairs. Rows of seated devotees in white ritual clothes with rudraksha malas sit on striped mats with hands in anjali, eyes closed. A man in the front foreground wears a white dhoti and shawl, with a red mark on his forehead. At the far right, a figure in saffron-orange clothing sits on a raised seat behind a yellow-draped table, but the appearance is uncertain and the page does not name him. A printed sign on the left wall lists photography, video camera and audio restrictions. Several devotees wear lanyards.
