A large crowd of devotees faces a gilded throne set against deep red draped curtains in a ceremonial hall. Seated on the throne is a bearded man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron garment with a rudraksha mala and ornate gold necklace; he appears to be giving a satsang. Behind him is a gold arch carved with a deity murti flanked by a trident, with brass oil lamps and potted plants around the stage. Devotees in white, orange and teal clothing stand in the foreground, some with hands raised in greeting, and a videographer with a camera films the scene on the right. Swamiji (probable): the seated bearded man in saffron with long hair, rudraksha mala and gold necklace, in a discourse role.
