On the stage, a figure sits on an ornate silver-and-white throne in front of red drapes and gold-panelled screens, with a golden canopy above. A person in white stands at a small wooden lectern below the stage, and a camera on a tripod is set up at the front. Two large screens on either side show a video image of a man in orange at a lectern. In the foreground, rows of heads and shoulders, some wearing rudraksha malas, are visible, with bags and water bottles scattered on the floor. Several attendees appear to be wearing rudraksha malas and white dhotis; the scene reflects a formal satsang discourse setting.2017-11-08Photo of a satsang on a raised stage before a large printed backdrop of a temple gopuram with deity murtis.

Behind him stands a large painted deity mural with multiple arms and a trident-like staff, and to the right a gilded arched shrine holds a decorated deity murti beside a bull figure.
