A photograph of a satsang on a stage backed by a large painted backdrop of a red temple gopuram tower, a mountain and a starry sky. A seated man in saffron-orange robes, a red turban and a garland sits centrally on a throne-like seat with a bronze peetha, flanked by two decorated deity murtis with flower garlands, one in red and gold, one in gold-and-red dress with a parasol. A camera on a tripod faces the stage. Rows of seated devotees in white and light clothing sit on the floor in front, with brass lamps along the front edge. The scene resembles a Vijaya Dashami satsang.
