A photo of a large indoor satsang in a hall with a corrugated metal roof strung with orange pennants. A central seated figure with long dark hair, wearing a white garment, a red and white floral garland and a gold rudraksha-style necklace, sits on an orange-draped throne-like seat on a red carpet. Surrounding him, several men in saffron/orange robes and beaded necklaces sit or kneel, and a golden trident and a gold staff stand nearby. Behind a metal railing, a crowd of devotees in white, green, pink and orange saris and white shirts sits attentively. At left, a priest in orange sits beside a white-draped table with a small brass bell and offerings. Framed portraits and posters line the walls behind. The seated figure appears to be a person by hair, garland and ornate cues, though his identity is not certain from appearance alone.
