Photograph of a seated audience inside a stone-pillared hall with a polished wooden floor during a satsang. In the foreground a woman in a cream sari with a red and orange border and gold jewellery looks upward, beside a woman in a white sari with a gold necklace and bangles. Men sit cross-legged in white shirts and dhotis or a striped shirt, some with hands in anjali, one with a tilak on his forehead. A man in a white kurta stands at the back, holding what appears to be a mala, with a row of standing people behind. No clearly identifiable a person is visible; the standing figure in white is a devotee or attendant.
