A large seated congregation of men fills a hall, most wearing white dhoti and shirts with red-orange rudraksha malas, and many with white sacred ash (vibhuti) striped across their foreheads and arms. In the front row, a shaved-headed man in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha beads sits cross-legged and smiles toward the stage, while nearby men in saffron wraps and white clothing sit attentively. Red chairs line the back, and the setting appears to be a formal satsang.
