A stage event in a large hall. A man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne at centre, with a garlanded deity backdrop behind him. In front of the stage, about ten people in white and yellow saris and white dhotis sit on an orange mat, some holding books or small items, while a young priest in white with a shaved head and horizontal tilak on the left speaks into a microphone. A large orange-draped table and a potted decoration sit at the right of the stage. The seated figure in orange could be a person, wearing saffron robes, a rudraksha mala and a sitting-throne position, though his face is too small to confirm; the other figures are devotees and priests.2010-10-23 +1 copiesOctober 26 20102010-10-26 +1 copiesOctober 23 20102010-10-23A satsang on a raised stage with a large printed backdrop of a temple-style scene showing a seated deity murti garlanded with flower strings, flanked by standing figures and brass lamps.
