A photograph of a seated congregation facing a raised stage in a hall with a blue curtain backdrop and orange-and-blue banners hanging at the top. On the stage a figure in orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne, with an attendant in white and orange beside them, and a second gold throne stands empty at left. Dozens of devotees sit cross-legged on red-and-white striped mats, most in white clothing, one in a grey hooded sweatshirt and one in lavender, with a camera on a tripod at the right edge. The setting suggests a satsang or discourse.
