A large hall with a crowd of seated devotees facing a golden throne-like seat on a raised stage. On the throne sits a figure with long dark swept-back hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe and a garland of beads, hands pressed together in greeting. Behind him is a large painted blue deity figure with four arms, a trident and a tiger skin, and to the right stand two white-and-gold deity murti decorated with garlands. Ornate panels, drums and a gilded canopy surround the stage. In the foreground, a person in an orange head wrap sits with their back to the camera, and a small child is visible at the front of the crowd.

Ornate gold and blue panels and drum sets frame the stage. A small child sits near the stage, and a dense audience of devotees fills the foreground, several wearing orange and saffron. The seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair and saffron robes, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) on the throne in person during the satsang.2015-12-25 +1 copiesA large hall audience faces a golden throne platform.

Adjacent gold deity murti in arched niches stand on either side, one dressed in purple and green with garlands. A rudraksha mala hangs at his chest. Orange-clad devotees sit in rows in the foreground, seen from behind, watching the stage with a red curtain behind.
