A photograph of a seated audience facing a raised stage in a hall with red drapes. On the stage, a figure in orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate golden throne with a golden cobra-hooded backrest, flanked by golden lion figures and a green leafy backdrop. In the foreground, many devotees sit on mats wearing white dhotis and white garments with gold borders, some in orange robes, with their backs to the camera. Two camera tripods on the stage edge record the session. The setting suggests a satsang or discourse, with the throned speaker appearing to be a person given the saffron robe, rudraksha mala and ornate ceremonial seat.
