A photograph of a satsang stage. A seated figure in a blue garment and blue shawl sits on an ornate gold throne with a flower-garlanded backrest, beneath a red, green and yellow fringed canopy. The throne is decorated with white and yellow marigold and jasmine garlands. In front stand tall brass oil lamps with lit flames, and a red-and-maroon floral arrangement lies on the floor. Behind the throne is a lavender drape with white and gold sacred motifs including a lingam emblem and crescent moon. To the left, a gold-framed arch holds a standing blue-clad deity murti, garlanded in yellow and magenta flowers. The hall is otherwise empty.
