A stage set for a satsang with a decorated backdrop of a temple gateway and garlanded deity murtis on golden pedestals. A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe sits centrally on an ornate gold-and-red throne, facing a seated audience of many devotees in white dhotis and white clothing. Several golden lion-mounted deity murtis flank the stage, and a camera on a tripod and a speaker sit at the front edge. Two flower-garlanded central deities are shown above the throne. The seated figure wears saffron orange, with a saffron-clad sannyasi appearance but no clear distinguishing cues, so identity is uncertain.
