Indoor photograph of a satsang hall with white walls and a concrete floor. A long-haired figure in an orange saffron robe with an orange shawl sits cross-legged on a raised dark-red cushioned seat, with a microphone stand and a white-draped table beside them. Several men in white dhoti and kurta stand in a group, one pointing toward the seated figure, while a man in white kneels on a blue mat before the seat. Seated saffron-robed sannyasis and devotees sit on mats along the left wall, and a man in a yellow shawl stands at the back. The seated figure in saffron appears to be the presiding guru, though the identification is uncertain.

Indoor hall during a KAILASA event with a seated figure in an orange robe and long dark hair on a cushioned throne-like seat, a leopard-print mat at the feet, and a microphone stand beside.
