A large seated audience fills the frame, mostly women in saris, salwar kameez and kurtas in yellow, pink, blue, purple, green and white, many wearing rudraksha malas. In the foreground, a woman with short grey hair and glasses in a light blue top sits next to an older woman in a pink and purple sari and a woman in a yellow and cream sari with long beads. Their eyes are closed or lowered in meditative stillness. Behind them rows of attendees extend back toward a stage lit with warm red and orange light. Attendees wear name badges on lanyards. This is a satsang or event audience in a large hall.
