A photograph of a satsang hall with a central golden throne. A seated figure with long dark swept-back hair wears an orange-saffron garment, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and gold armlets, sitting with hands joined in namaskar on a cushioned golden dais with lion figures. Flanking the throne are two large painted deity murti figures with multiple arms holding tridents, and bright blue and pink ornamental pillars. A man in white dhoti with bare upper body kneels at the lower left of the dais, holding an object near the dais edge. Gilt armchairs with red cushions stand at both sides on a patterned carpet.
