A photograph of a stage set for a satsang. A man in orange-saffron robes with a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on a gold-trimmed throne (peetha) framed by a rainbow arch of red, yellow, purple and white flower garlands. Flanking him on the left and right are two decorated deity murti on pedestals, one dressed in green and wrapped in green and red garlands and the other with gold ornaments and a green silk skirt, both adorned with flower garlands. A maroon velvet curtain forms the backdrop, with a gold-trimmed low table and a patterned rug in front. A plain fan hangs from the ceiling. The only physical person is the seated man; the murti are statues.
