A satsang stage set up for a Bhagavad Gita discourse under an orange and maroon canopy. A seated figure in orange robes with a saffron head covering and a red and white beaded mala sits on a gold-cushioned chair behind a lectern with a laptop, facing a sound microphone. Garlands and yellow and pink flowers decorate the stage and a white pillar at right, with potted plants at the front. Two orange-draped sofas flank a large television on the green carpet. A large banner behind reads a Tamil title meaning Bhagavad Gita and Dhyana Satsang, with a portrait of a young man at right. Two air coolers stand at left and right. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron robes, and a rudraksha mala.

A satsang stage under an orange canopy with a large dark banner reading Bhagavad Gita (பகவத்கீதை) and Dhyana Satsangam (தியான satsangam).
