A photograph of a ceremonial stage set for a satsang. A bearded man in saffron-orange robes, a rudraksha mala, a gold necklace and an orange head wrap sits enthroned on an ornate gold peetha with red cushions, hands resting on his lap, smiling. Behind him stands an arched golden torana framed by strings of marigold, pink and white garlands, with a deity murti at the centre and a gold canopy above. Golden flagstaffs with orange and red pennants flank the stage, brass lamps and a kalasha-style brass lamp stand sit before him, a microphone stand is at right, and dark red curtains and carved stone pillars complete the backdrop.
