A photograph of a satsang hall where a large seated congregation faces a stage. Many devotees wear white clothing with red-orange shawls draped over their shoulders. Two large screens on either side show a man in a red turban, white garment and rudraksha-style garland, with a red shawl. On the stage, a central figure sits on a golden peetha beneath an ornate golden canopy, flanked by decorated altar arrangements, brass oil lamps and palm fronds. A single saffron-robed sannyasi sits among the audience. Tall brass lamps frame the stage and camera tripods stand near the front. Swamiji (probable): the screen figure wears a red turban, rudraksha-style garland and red shawl, with the scene centered on a satsang led from the stage.
