A joyful crowd of devotees seated close together in a hall during a satsang-style session. Many smile, laugh and press palms together in anjali; a woman in front wears an orange-and-cream sari with a red bindi and gold bangles, and several people wear orange lanyards. A person in a deep maroon garment sits in the foreground with their back to the camera. No clearly identifiable a person candidate is visible in this frame, so the speaker's presence cannot be confirmed from the image.
