A photograph taken on a stage at an evening satsang. A seated figure in orange-saffron robes with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, rudraksha-style red and orange flower garlands and gold bangles sits on an ornate gold throne draped with white and yellow flower garlands and red cushions, hands pressed together in a namaskar greeting. Two metal deity murtis stand in the foreground, one holding a trident-like staff and bow, the other with raised hands. Behind them a large banner shows a smiling face in orange, with a tall flame lamp and a row of red apples on a table at left. The banner text reads Tamil 'தியான சத்சங்' (Dhyana Satsang, meditation satsang).
