A large indoor satsang hall with red curtains and red mats where many people sit cross-legged in rows. Foreground devotees wear saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas and white forehead tilaka, some holding their hands in mudra. Younger boys in red-maroon robes sit among them, and women in white saris with rudraksha stand out in the middle rows. Brass puja vessels, small lamps, plates of flower petals and fruit sit on mats before them. Several men in white shirts sit at the back right, and a shaven-headed figure in white stands among the crowd near the centre. No clear claim of a person's presence can be confirmed from appearance.

In the foreground, several young boys and a girl sit with hands folded or palms raised, while a man in front right wears glasses, a white lanyard badge and an orange wrap. Behind them, a crowd in white clothing sits in rows, and a distant figure in orange stands near the far wall. No clearly identifiable distinctive a person cues are visible among the foreground people, so the presence of the teacher is uncertain. The scene suggests a satsang or group meditation gathering.2017-06-14
