Photograph of a satsang hall viewed from behind a low wall. A seated figure in ornate red-and-gold attire, with a crown and trident-like staff beside him, sits on a golden throne at the top of a raised stage flanked by two large gilded panels. Foreground devotees sit on the floor facing the stage: a bald man in orange cloth with a rudraksha mala, a woman in white with an orange border, a man in white, and several women in orange and white saris. Cameras and mobile phones are set up along the wall, and the red curtains and white air conditioners frame the room.
