A photograph inside a decorated hall where a seated satsang is taking place. On a raised golden throne at centre sits a figure in orange robes with a red head covering, the appearance is uncertain, so the candidate is recorded as unsure. Seated before him on red-carpeted platforms are rows of people in orange and saffron robes, several young boys with white forehead markings, and women in deep orange and red saris. To the left stands a golden canopied palanquin or throne adorned with garlands, and a decorated deity murti with a green drape sits nearby. Colourful paper lanterns hang from the ceiling and maroon drapes frame the arches.
