A satsang on a raised stage in front of a backdrop reading "...ad Gita Satsang" with a painted autumn tree. A figure in an orange robe and orange head covering sits on an ornate gold throne, one hand raised in a gesture while addressing the room. Seated devotees on mats in the foreground include women in white and green saris, a woman in a green sari holding a small brass item, and several children in red, blue and white. A bald man in a white dhoti with gold border stands on a ladder at right, lighting a tall tiered brass lamp. Brass oil lamps, potted plants, a camera on a tripod and a speaker frame the scene.
