A satsang hall decorated for a festival, with gold arches and gold statues of deities flanking a golden ornate throne with lion-shaped armrests. A seated figure on the throne wears a red garment and a red garland. Devotees in saffron and orange robes with rudraksha malas and white forehead markings sit on red cushions in front, and a row of women in orange and white sits to the right near a garlanded image. Colourful tassels and paper lanterns hang overhead. The seated figure on the throne is not identifiable by appearance alone, so no identity is asserted here.
