A large hall with arched stained-glass windows and patterned gold curtains hosts a seated audience of many devotees, mostly women in white and orange-red shawls. A man with long dark hair stands on a raised carved wooden dais, wearing an orange-red and striped tiger-patterned lower cloth, a rudraksha mala and a large ornate gold necklace, and holds a silver trident. A harmonium sits on the dais. Several people in white clothing sit near the stage. Swamiji (probable): the standing figure with long hair, ornate gold necklace and trident matches the page's presentation cues, so the appearance is a candidate for Paramahamsa Nithyananda, presented here as a figure at the dais addressing the audience.

A standing figure at the centre has long, dark, swept-back hair and wears a saffron-orange garment with a striped tiger-print lower wrap, layered gold and beaded necklaces, and a silver-tipped staff held in one hand, with a wooden chair beside them. Audience members in saffron and orange shawls, some in white kurtas and white saris, sit on a white floor covering in rows, many turned toward the standing figure. The white-clad seated people include a bald man and several women, and the scene suggests a teaching or question-and-answer session.2015-07-12July 12 20152015-07-12A photograph of a satsang hall with a large seated audience of devotees wearing white and orange-red shawls, many with orange scarves draped over their shoulders.
