Photograph of a satsang hall with a golden throne on a raised stage, draped in red cushions. A figure in orange robes with a red-and-orange head covering sits on the throne, holding a small object, with a microphone stand before him. To the left, a golden deity palanquin-like shrine is decorated with white and orange flower garlands. A large backdrop shows a woman's face and a man in a yellow turban with a crimson tilak and beaded necklaces, and the banner reads Bhagavad Gita Dhyana Satsang. Cameras on tripods and stage lights surround the stage, and an audience of seated devotees fills the lower foreground, with a few in white and yellow clothing. Several people are visible, most seated, along with a cameraman in a red shirt at left.
