A photo of a decorated stage at an evening satsang. A bearded man in saffron-orange robes, wearing a long multi-strand rudraksha and flower mala and a gold necklace, sits centrally on an ornate silver throne with a decorative canopy, behind a tall arch of jewel-like embellishments. Strings of pink, purple and white fairy lights hang behind him and a deep red curtain sits at right. Three devotees sit on the floor before him with hands folded in namaskar: a bald man in white dhoti with a shawl, a woman in an orange sari, and a woman in a gold-bordered yellow sari with a long braid. Marigold garlands drape the throne arch.
