Photo of a large hall during a satsang session. A seated figure in orange-saffron robes sits on a raised red-cushioned throne with gold accents and flowers on a wooden platform, a microphone stand before him. Around him, many people in white clothing sit cross-legged on a checkered floor, many taking notes or looking toward the platform. A man in white stands near a curtained pillar on the right, and a photographer with a tripod-mounted video camera films from the left. A decorated altar with a red and orange floral arch, garlands and a deity murti stands at the back left. Speakers, cables and a laptop are visible on the floor.
