A photograph of a large seated congregation inside a hall during a satsang or ritual gathering. Many devotees sit closely packed on the floor in white, orange and saffron clothing, several with white forehead markings and rudraksha malas. In the foreground a woman in green and a man in orange sit with their backs partly turned, and a camera is visible on the right. The cushions and orange cloths suggest an ashram setting. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so no candidate is marked.
