A photograph of a large indoor satsang hall under a white tent ceiling with hanging yellow and red decorative banners. Rows of men in white clothes sit cross-legged on the floor with palms pressed together in namaskar. On the left, a figure in orange robes with a garland sits on a raised white seat, appearing to be a person (appearance cues: orange clothing and garland; the seat and role are not sufficient on their own). Framed portraits of a woman hang on the walls, and a dark backdrop with a deity image is behind the stage. The scene suggests a devotional gathering.
