Photo of a dhyana satsang hall with a standing young man in a red-orange shawl over bare shoulders, long dark hair swept back, walking forward among seated participants. Many seated devotees wear white shirts and white blindfold-style cloth over their eyes, a meditation practice. Wooden panelled walls, large windows with mesh grilles, and white plastic chairs. A small 'SILENCE PLEASE' sign is on the wall. The standing man's appearance with long hair and orange shawl is a distinctive cue, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone, so he is described by role as a standing figure in orange.
