A seated satsang in a hall with white sheets on the floor. A central figure sits on a raised red-cushioned throne, wearing red-orange robes and holding a tall trident-like staff. Surrounding him, dozens of devotees sit cross-legged in white clothing with red-orange shawls draped over their shoulders, many holding books or notebooks. A few people stand at the edges and near a cameraman. Behind them a display stand has a large autumn-coloured tree sculpture and framed panels on the walls. Probable Swamiji is the central figure on the throne, identified by the throne, long swept-back hair, ornate red-orange robes and the staff.
