A photograph taken from the back of a hall during a seated satsang. Dozens of devotees sit on orange mats facing a raised stage. Many men wear maroon or red-brown robes and bare-chested devotees sit cross-legged, while others wear white kurta-style clothing; a few women in dark clothes sit in the foreground. On the stage, a golden throne with a golden arch and lion figures holds a seated figure in orange-saffron robes, with a raised microphone stand nearby. Two screens on either side show a portrait-style image. Tall decorative banners in red, yellow, blue and white hang from the ceiling above the stage, and grey draped fabric covers the ceiling.

Many attendees wear maroon robes and white dhotis, and some are bare-chested; a few westerners in white and black clothing sit at the right. Cameras on tripods film the stage, and a large screen above shows a close-up of the seated figure. Banners with coloured patterns hang from the ceiling and a framed portrait is on the right wall.

Rows of seated devotees in white dhotis and white garments, many bare-shouldered or with red-bordered cloths, face the stage on orange and red mats, with brass puja vessels and small lamps placed in front of them. Tall cylindrical banners with colourful geometric patterns and orange tails hang from the ceiling, and a projection screen stands at left.
