Photograph of a stage at an ashram satsang hall, with a deep red curtain backdrop and dark wooden panels with brass lamps. Center stage, a seated man in saffron-orange robes with a red-orange turban-style head covering and a large ornate gold-and-beaded necklace sits on a raised golden seat beside a golden bull (Nandi) figure. Behind him is a golden deity murti of a goddess with multiple arms, seated under a ornate chakra-like wheel. Potted green plants and brass kalasha-style pots line the stage. In the foreground, a large audience sits facing the stage, seen from behind, many with dark hair, some in white and saffron clothing. The seated man is an appearance-based a person (saffron robes, distinctive ceremonial necklace and head covering on a central throne), a role the page places at this event.
