Photograph of a satsang hall with a large audience seated on orange and blue mats facing a raised stage. On the left, a figure in orange robes and an orange turban sits on an orange and cream seat, with a microphone before them. Many attendees in white clothes, several in yellow shawls and some in orange scarves, sit in rows. A red velvet curtain backs the stage, and decorated pillars with yellow tassels hang from the white ceiling beside ceiling fans. A framed picture and an image of a deity hang on the right wall. A large white screen stands at the left edge.

A indoor hall with a white tented ceiling hung with colourful decorative banners, fans and strip lights. On the left, a raised platform with an orange cushioned seat and a small white lectern holds a figure in orange seated at a distance, with flower arrangements nearby. Rows of young people in white clothes sit cross-legged on an orange mat with a blue and maroon border, many wearing lanyards, while more seats line the right side. A white board on an easel and a backdrop with a painted deity image appear in the back. The figure on the platform is too distant and indistinct to attribute an identity from appearance.
