A large indoor hall with a red-and-white ceiling and many ceiling fans, filled with a dense audience of women and girls seated on the floor in rows, mostly in white saris with some in coloured clothing. Most face a raised stage at the far end, which holds an ornate golden throne-like seat with red and gold decorations and a figure seated on it, flanked by attendants, with a potted tree beside it. Two large screens on either side of the stage show the same seated figure. Red curtains hang behind the stage and framed posters line the side walls. A small child is visible in the foreground. Many people are present, but the exact count cannot be determined from the image.

A large hall viewed from behind a seated audience, mostly women dressed in white garments with white shawls, many with long braided hair. They sit on the floor in rows facing a raised stage at the far end. On the stage, a golden throne-like seat stands before a dark curtain, with a tree-like green backdrop above it and figures seated at its base. Two large screens flank the stage showing the same scene, and camera rigs stand on both sides of the aisle. The page refers to a Mahashivaratri satsang with a Pratyakshya Pada Puja, but no clearly visible appearance-based candidate for a person is established, so the seated figure on the stage remains unidentified. Ceiling lights and banners line the hall.2016-03-07February 24 20172017-02-24 +2 copiesFebruary 24 20172017-02-24January 01 20172017-01-01Photo of a large seated congregation in a bright hall during a Mahashivaratri satsang at an ashram.
