Interior of an orange-draped tent set up as a satsang hall. A large framed deity murti with a golden arch stands at the centre of a raised platform. In front of it, a figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a low seat, and a second seated figure in orange sits on a golden throne-like chair to the right. Striped decorative poles and hanging ornaments frame the tent, and a banner with printed text is visible at the top. Dozens of seated devotees in white dhotis, orange and red robes fill the floor, several with their backs to the camera. Two video cameras on tripods film the scene, and a speaker stands at the left.
