A photograph from an indoor satsang hall of a seated figure in orange-saffron robes with a long rudraksha-style beaded mala draped over the chest, one hand resting on a silver tray of folded orange cloth. Several seated devotees in the foreground and background wear orange and white, including a woman with blonde hair at right and a man with glasses behind.
