A seated man in an orange and red turban, gold ornaments and multiple red and yellow flower garlands sits on a golden-cushioned throne in a dark-walled hall, hands raised in a greeting. Brass bells and hanging flower strands surround him, and a saffron flag rests beside him. Before him, devotees in white sit on the floor with hands folded, a cameraman in white films the scene, and a woman in white stands near the doorway. Visible white-clad devotees and a seated man in purple add to the satsang gathering.
