A large audience sits in the foreground, seen from behind, facing a stage decorated in gold. A seated figure in a dark red dhoti and gold necklace sits on an ornate golden throne, flanked by two standing attendants in red and green dhotis and an elaborately garlanded golden canopy above. Flower garlands in yellow, red and green hang on the throne and pillars. Golden lion-figured pillars frame the stage. A camera crane and tripod film the scene, and a stage light stands at the front.

A photograph of a Karthigai Deepam satsang on a raised golden stage lit by strings of lights. At centre, a man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits on a silver-and-gold throne with a rudraksha mala around his neck, hands folded in his lap. Behind him stands a golden Nandi bull and a large silver-framed backdrop garlanded with marigold and multicoloured flower garlands, with golden deity murtis in arched niches on both sides, one a standing figure and one a seated figure garlanded. Brass kalashas and offering vessels sit on the front ledge.

A central figure sits cross-legged on a red-cushioned golden throne wearing an orange-red turban, orange robes and a rudraksha mala; the figure's appearance is consistent with a person, though identity is uncertain from appearance alone. Rows of black plastic chairs hold devotees in varied clothing, including a man in a yellow shirt, a man in red, and a man in blue, all facing the stage. A video camera on a tripod and a potted plant stand at the right side of the stage.2015-08-22September 08 20172017-09-08 +1 copies
