Inside an orange-draped tent with green floor covering, devotees sit in rows watching a flat-screen TV on a table, which shows a glowing golden frame with a seated figure in orange robes. Many attendees wear orange or saffron clothing, a few wear white dhotis and one man stands at the right in orange robes. Brass plates and small bowls sit on the floor in front, and a golden throne-like seat with orange cloth and a kalasha-like finial stands at left. The scene suggests a satsang being watched via live video link.
