On a raised stage, a seated figure in orange-saffron robes sits on a gold throne, flanked by other seated and standing figures in white and yellow garments, with floral garlands and decorated gold chairs around them. Children and young women in silk dress, including a gold-and-red outfit and a pink outfit, sit on green carpet in the foreground facing the stage, with a man in orange shirt seated at left. Two projection screens flank the stage and a floral backdrop with a carved temple arch stands behind it. Lamps and marigold decorations fill the space.

November 21 20102010-11-21A wide photograph of an indoor satsang hall under white draped ceiling fabric. On a raised stage decorated with marigold garlands and flower arrangements, a seated figure in orange and saffron robes sits on an ornate golden throne-like seat; the figure's appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, and a candidate at the centre of the stage may be the satsang speaker. Flanking the throne are other seated attendants and ornamental decor, with a deity murti and floral offerings visible beside them.
