A photograph of a satsang stage in the dark, carpeted with scattered red flower petals. A golden ornate throne with a golden canopy sits at the back, where a seated figure in a red turban and red-and-maroon robes sits with hands resting. A gold trident stands beside the throne, a tall gold lamp stand with a bird finial stands at left, and a row of small clay lamps glows along the right edge. Two small pots and green foliage decorate the throne base, and a painted backdrop shows Earth from space with a dark silhouette. The seated figure is a devotee-in-attendance on the throne rather than a clearly identifiable individual, so the appearance cue is uncertain.
