A photograph of a stage at a satsang hall framed by deep red velvet drapes with swagged valances. A large painted backdrop shows a multi-armed deity murti seated on a bull, possibly Shiva, with a trident beside it. A man in a saffron-orange robe with a white flower garland stands center stage in front of the backdrop; he has a long swept-back beard and his face and hair are not clearly visible enough to judge. Lanterns hang from wooden posts, potted plants flank the stage, and a film camera on a tripod is at right. A crowd of devotees faces the stage with their backs to the camera: men in white dhotis and cream kurtas, some bare-chested with sacred threads, and a few in pink, orange and grey shirts. A small child in a grey jacket stands at the far right.
