Wide view of a large hall during a seated satsang discourse. A person in orange robes sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne at the right, a person candidate by orange clothing and throne setting, though the face is not visible enough to confirm. Rows of seated devotees fill the carpeted floor, many in white clothes, some in saffron and blue. Framed portraits and deity pictures hang on the walls, with red curtains, a blank projection screen and a small table nearby.
