Wide view of a hall set for a satsang or puja. At the centre, a seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a golden throne under a gold canopy, flanked by golden elephant and lion figures and attendants. Standing attendants in white and one in purple move around the dais. Rows of seated devotees in saffron and orange robes, some with shaved heads, fill the floor on both sides, with a long green-and-white floral rangoli leading toward the throne. Red drapes and framed pictures line the walls, and a gold deity murti stands at the right.
