A large white-tented hall with red-and-white trim hosts a seated satsang gathering on white sheets over green matting. Many devotees sit cross-legged in rows and circles, some in white kurtas and some in red, yellow and patterned shirts, with women in saris and salwar kameez at the back. In the centre a man in white kurta and white trousers stands holding papers, apparently addressing the group. Two video cameras on tripods and a small monitor are set up at the left, and bookshelves line the far right. A small figure in white stands near the tent's rear wall, not identifiable as the speaker.
