A seated audience fills a hall during a satsang, with many people wearing orange shawls and white clothing. In the foreground, a man with white sacred markings on his forehead and a bare upper body sits beside a shaved-headed man in an orange robe and a long gold-toned necklace. Behind them, rows of devotees sit on red cushioned mats, several in orange stoles, while others wear white kurtas. A wooden-paneled wall and an exit sign appear at the top, and a plastic water bottle and a container sit on the mats. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance alone.
