A photograph of a satsang hall with a figure seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne against a dark blue curtain. The seated figure wears red garments and a red shawl. Behind the throne hangs a large printed backdrop of a temple scene with deities. Colourful striped cylindrical banners with orange tassels hang from the ceiling on both sides. Camera tripods, monitors and a laptop are set up in front, and several people sit on the floor at the lower edge in orange and white clothing, some with laptops. The seated figure is shown at a distance and is a candidate by the throne and red robes, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm, so the identity is uncertain.
