Photograph of a large hall viewed from behind a dense audience seated on the floor, mostly in white clothing with some in pastel shirts and coloured saris. On a raised stage at the far end, a seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate golden throne before a decorated shrine backdrop with pillars and a deity murti. Tall decorative pillars with coloured geometric patterns and orange tassels hang from the ceiling, and screens flank the stage. The scene suggests a satsang or discourse, with the seated figure on the golden peetha centred before the assembled devotees.
