Large indoor satsang hall with white draped ceiling and rows of colourful hanging lanterns and tassels. A central figure sits on a golden throne-like seat, wearing a red and saffron dhoti-style garment, a red turban, a long bead necklace and a dark wrap, holding a trident-like staff while gesturing with one hand. He appears to be a person, seated and speaking to the crowd. Around him, a dense audience of roughly a hundred or more devotees sits on the floor and in chairs, many dressed in white, saffron, pink and blue saris and kurtas. Two large screens flank the stage area, and a man in white seated near the front holds a microphone.
