A wide photograph of a large seated satsang audience inside a pale hall with cream walls, a tiled floor, and striped mats in rows. Many people sit cross-legged or kneeling, most in white or cream clothing, with some in orange shawls, pink and red saris, and bright salwar kameez. Several women in front have their palms pressed together in greeting or devotion, and a few smile broadly. Thin metal stanchions with chains divide the seating area. Colourful woven hangings in red, blue and yellow hang on the right wall, and a plate of fruit sits on a mat near the front. No speaker is clearly visible in this view.
