Indoor satsang in an ashram hall with a navy blue curtain backdrop. A figure with long dark hair and a blue dhoti-style wrap, wearing beaded necklaces, sits on a golden throne with a striped canopy above, with a garlanded deity murti of a blue-clad goddess with flower garlands at the left. Several seated devotees in white and cream saris and white dhotis sit on orange and blue mats in front of the throne, some with hands folded; a woman in a white sari with gold border speaks into a microphone in the foreground, and small brass vessels sit on the mat. The person on the throne has long swept-back hair and a blue shawl with a beaded necklace, which are cues for a person seated as the presiding figure at a morning satsang.
