Photograph of a stage at an ashram satsang with a red draped backdrop and a carved stone shrine-like structure with a golden canopy. Two ornate golden thrones with red cushions and lion-shaped armrests sit on a raised platform. On the left, an older man in orange robes and rudraksha beads sits with hands together. On the right, a man with swept-back hair in red and gold dhoti-style clothing and ornate gold necklaces sits with palms pressed together and smiles, his throne decorated with a colourful jewelled heart-shaped backrest. Behind them stand a man in an orange robe with a shaved head, and a man in a white dhoti with a shawl. In the foreground a man in white with a shawl holds hands in greeting, and several devotees in white sit on the stage edge with hands folded. Garlands of marigolds decorate the set.
