A photograph of a devotional musical satsang in a hall with gold draped curtains. Behind a long white-covered table, a row of seated performers in white clothes and orange-red shawls sing and play. A young boy at the left plays a tabla, a seated man in the centre holds his hands together in prayer, and women in white saris and shawls sit beside him, some singing into microphones. In the foreground, seated devotees in white with orange-red shawls sit with hands folded in prayer; one wears a rudraksha mala and a forehead mark. A red container and water bottles sit on the floor. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person, so the candidate is left uncertain.
