A photograph of a seated congregation of men in plain white shirts and white dhotis, sitting cross-legged on a polished floor during a satsang or deeksha session. Many have moustaches, eyeglasses and lanyard badges; some wear red and yellow wrist threads and bracelets. In the foreground a young man with a red vermilion mark on his forehead rests his chin on his hand, and an older man beside him gazes forward. Turquoise cushions lie on the floor. A carved wooden door and cream walls form the background. No speaker or teacher is visible in the frame, so the presiding figure cannot be identified here.
