A large hall packed with seated devotees, mostly viewed from behind, at a Sadashivoham programme. On a raised platform, a figure in an ornate gold-and-brown chair holds a tall golden trident and wears a red and gold robe, a garland, and a dark turban-style headwrap, gesturing toward the audience. Beside him stands a wooden lectern. Behind and to the left, large screens show enlarged images of a similarly dressed figure in red and gold. Attendees wear white kurtas, saffron, pink, and yellow saris, and colourful salwar kameez. A digital clock reads 01:05 on the wall, and an orange-and-white banner hangs at the rear. The figure seated on the throne may be a person, but the appearance cues are not conclusive.

A large indoor satsang hall with a seated teacher on an ornate gold-and-brown throne at the left, wearing a dark turban, red-and-gold draped garment, and layered ornate necklaces with a rudraksha-style mala; he extends his hand toward the audience. Behind him hang red and orange paper lanterns and a golden staff leans nearby. Several hundred devotees sit on the floor in rows, many in saris, kurtas and white ritual clothes in pink, purple, orange and green. Two large screens at the top corners show the event.
