A large seated group of devotees sits cross-legged on colourful mats in a temple hall decorated with gold arches, deity murtis and dark drapes. Many attendees close their eyes in meditation. In the front row a woman in a green patterned sari sits with eyes closed, a woman in a yellow shawl and white outfit sits beside her, and a woman in a bright orange sari sits with hands on her lap. Behind them men and women in white, orange and red garments sit in rows. On the left, rows of orange-robed figures are displayed on shelves, and a brass vessel sits at the lower edge. Lamps and garlands adorn the altar area with multi-armed deity murtis.

A photograph of a screen showing a group of around nine seated people in a temple-like hall with red drapes and deity murtis in niches. A framed portrait of a saffron-robed figure with a turban-like headwrap stands at centre, labelled by no readable caption. Foreground participants sit on blue and pink cloths: a woman in white with a wooden mala, a woman in a patterned dress, a man in a red scarf, and a man in a blue top with a mala, with a tray and small items on the floor. Other participants sit on chairs and cushions behind them. The scene suggests a satsang or meditation session.

Around him, a dozen or so seated devotees in saffron, pink, green and dark clothing sit on cushions and mats watching, while a camera on a tripod records the puja. Two people in white sit at the right edge. Rows of small orange-clad figures stand on a shelf at left.

Fresh white and red flowers and a small brass lamp sit on the floor in front. The image is a broadcast screen view of a live remote satsang.
