A large hall filled with a seated audience facing a central stage during a satsang. On a raised golden seat with a tiger-skin cover, a bearded man with long hair wears a red-orange turban, a saffron-toned garment and a long beaded necklace, holding a tall trident and a small open book while raising one hand in teaching. Overhead, rows of colourful hanging ribbons and small decorative lamps line the ceiling, and two large screens flank the stage showing crowds. Many attendees in white, orange and bright clothing sit on the floor and chairs, and a standing fan stands at the front. The long-haired figure with turban, trident and tiger-skin seat matches the description of a person, appearance-based and probable, seated in the teaching role.
