A large seated congregation fills a hall with cream walls and framed pictures on the back wall. Men and boys sit cross-legged on blue and striped mats, mostly dressed in white shirts and white dhotis, many wearing lanyard badges and beaded necklaces. Several devotees have sacred ash or kumkum marks on their foreheads, and some hold yellow cloths on their laps. The attendees appear to be listening in a satsang setting, with eyes closed or lowered, and no speaker or throne is clearly visible in the frame.
