A photograph of a seated satsang in a large carpeted hall with a wooden lectern at centre-back. Dozens of devotees sit on the floor in white clothes with red-and-orange shawls. Many wear white kurtas and some sit on striped rugs. Several women in patterned salwar kameez sit at the front left. A tall decorated stand with a red-leaved arrangement and framed photographs lines the back wall. Chandeliers hang from the ceiling. No individual is clearly identifiable as a specific person, so the speaker's identity is uncertain from the image. The crowd is large, well over twenty people, with many more standing or seated beyond the frame.
