A large satsang hall with warm golden ceiling lights and wood-panelled walls. On the right, a figure in a red-and-orange ornate robe and red turban sits on a gilded throne with a long-handled fly whisk, gesturing as they speak, with garlands visible on their neck. Seated rows of devotees in front wear white dhotis or kurtas with red shawls and marigold garlands, while others wear saris in green, blue and red. A video camera on a tripod records the scene, and a small framed portrait hangs on the wall behind. The crowd fills the hall, many people seated on the floor and in chairs.
