A wide photograph of a large indoor hall during a seated satsang. Dozens of devotees sit on red-and-white striped mats and rows of black chairs, many facing away from the camera toward a raised blue-curtained stage. On the stage, several people in white and saffron sit near a central seated figure in orange robes before a white draped backdrop, with a small ritual setup in front. Two projection screens flank the stage, and tall vertical banners with woven blue, red and yellow patterns and gold tassels hang from the white ceiling drapery. Men in white kurtas, orange and red shirts are visible in the foreground, and a single person in an orange robe stands to the far left near a whiteboard.
