Indoor satsang in a hall with bamboo-lattice windows and bamboo posts. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits before a decorated backdrop framed with garlands and white flower strands, facing a large seated gathering. Devotees sit cross-legged on red and woven mats; many wear white, others pale blue, pink and floral saris, and women wear braids and flowers in their hair. Some potted plants stand at the edges and a microphone stand is near the front. The front figure's saffron robe and seated position in the central place of honour are visible, but the face is not clearly discernible, so identity is uncertain.
