Indoor satsang in a red-walled hall with carved silver and white pillars and a silver canopy. A long-haired man with a long black beard and a tilak sits on a silver-framed couch with leopard-print cushions and red seat cushions, holding a silver trident-topped staff in his right hand. He wears orange and maroon robes. A woman in a white sari with a gold border stands at a lectern holding a microphone and papers, speaking. Behind them, saffron-clad devotees and women in orange, red and purple saris stand, one man wearing a rudraksha mala. A small deity shrine and a large golden trident are in the background, and a row of seated audience members in the foreground watch. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, a tilak, orange robes and a rudraksha mala cue, and holds a ceremonial staff on a throne-like couch.
