A photograph of a satsang on a raised golden stage in a temple-style hall. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron dhoti and a rudraksha mala, sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, a microphone before him. Behind him stand decorated deity murtis draped in marigold and multicolored flower garlands, with a golden canopy above and temple-pillar backdrop painting. Flanking the throne are smaller garlanded deity murtis on golden pedestals and a golden peetha. Below, a seated audience in white and cream clothes, many with long hair, faces away from the camera toward the stage. Small oil lamps flicker on the stage edge and a framed image sits on the floor near the front row.
