Evening satsang in a temple hall with orange-red walls. On the right, a figure with long dark hair wearing saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate red and gold throne, facing the audience; the page identifies this as Swamiji (probable), given the long hair, saffron clothing and throne. On the left, a priest in a white dhoti and sleeveless top performs puja before a gilded arched shrine with a deity murti adorned with red and orange flower garlands, with oil lamps and brass pots set on the platform. A black stone murti stands near the throne, and a banner beside it reads satsang text. Around 20 seated devotees in white and orange clothing face the stage from the foreground.
