A large indoor satsang hall with a wooden-floored platform where a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha-style neck garland sits cross-legged at front left, hands folded in his lap, with a gold-tipped ceremonial staff rising beside him. Beside him sits another man in orange with gold necklaces. Rows of seated devotees in white and yellow clothes, many with flower garlands, fill the room with hands held in anjali. Framed portraits of saffron-clad figures hang in the windows behind, and a red mat lies on the floor at lower left. Appearance-based probable identification of the front figure as a person: long swept-back hair, saffron robes, and gold-bead necklaces.
