A photograph of a satsang hall where a seated man in white and gold ritual dress with a white turban and a garland of white flowers sits on an orange-cushioned throne on a striped rug. A large banner behind him shows a portrait of a smiling man in a white turban and white garment, with Tamil text reading 'ஆனந்தமே வருக ... அருளாசி தருக ...'. Blue draped curtains with white flower strands and red accents frame the stage. In the foreground, two video cameras on tripods film him, with a small monitor showing the seated figure. Ceiling fans and fluorescent lights hang above. The seated man's appearance is uncertain, so he is described by role as a seated speaker on a throne.
