A large seated audience fills a hall at a satsang, sitting cross-legged on patterned carpet. Most attendees wear white dhotis, kurtas or shirts, with orange or saffron shawls and sacred thread. A young Western man in the foreground wears an orange-red robe with long dreadlocks and a beaded necklace, looking forward attentively. Several men have vertical tilak marks on their foreheads. Some wear earphones for translation. Gold-framed doorways and a painted wall panel appear in the background. No individual can be confidently identified as a person from the visible appearance, so the candidate is not established.
