Photograph of a satsang session in a hall viewed from the back of a seated audience of many people, mostly women seen from behind in saris and salwar kameez with colourful clothing. On a raised stage, a robed figure in saffron and orange clothing with a dark cap and beaded necklaces sits in an ornate carved wooden chair before a microphone stand and a silver kalasha-style vessel. Behind the stage stands a golden bronze of Nataraja dancing within a tree-like arch, and two seated deity murtis with crowns and garlands sit on the right under a gold-trimmed cloth. A child in red attire stands at the far left of the stage, and cameras on tripods film the event.
