A festive satsang hall with a raised stage framed by gold-and-cream arches draped with multicoloured tassels and hanging paper lanterns. On a gilded throne with lion-shaped armrests sits a man with long hair, wearing a red-and-gold garment and a rudraksha-style necklace, apparently in a seated discourse; the presentation fits a person, though the face and seat are only partly clear. Before him, a row of white-robed and saffron-clad disciples sit cross-legged on red cushions, several with white tilak marks on their foreheads and rudraksha malas. A golden standing deity figure and a decorated murti with garlands stand to the side, and a green cloth hangs near the altar. Several devotees in orange robes sit on the right, roughly 30 people in view.
