A seated audience at a satsang or discourse hall, with devotees raising both hands to the top of their heads in a shared gesture. In the foreground, a woman in a cream kurta with floral embroidery, a red-orange bangle set and a small bindi smiles and holds her hair. Beside her, a man with a short beard wears a red-and-black checked shawl over white. Behind them, others wear white and red-orange shawls and some have vibhuti on their foreheads. Cream-coloured chairs and a maroon backdrop fill the background, and a visible identity lanyard hangs on the woman's neck.
