A photograph of a large seated audience at a satsang hall, with many delegates in white and cream clothing wearing lanyard badges, sitting on floor cushions and mats. Several people in the front rows have hands pressed together in anjali mudra or sit in quiet meditation with eyes closed. Warm orange and red drapery forms the backdrop, and a shaft of light falls from the upper right. No speaker is clearly visible in the frame; the focus is on the assembled devotees listening to the talk.
