A large seated congregation fills a marble-floored hall during a satsang gathering. Many people sit cross-legged in rows; in the foreground an elderly woman in a red sari with white hair and a forehead marking holds her hands together in namaskar, beside a woman in a blue sari clapping and another in an orange sari. A younger woman in a maroon and gold sari and a girl in a pink dress sit nearby, and men in white dhotis and shirts and boys in sports jerseys fill the background. A framed portrait hangs on the wall at top left, but no identifiable person is shown in the scene itself.
