A large indoor satsang hall with red carpeting and red drapes, filled with a dense crowd of hundreds of seated devotees in white, orange, saffron, pink and blue clothing. A man in orange-saffron robes sits on a red throne-like seat on a raised stage, with a red cloth and a small brass lamp before him. Behind the stage a large screen shows a dramatic cloud-and-sunset backdrop with a deity murti on a pedestal. Rows of brass oil lamps line the stage edge, and a golden deity shrine with ornate decorations stands at right under strings of colourful tassels hanging from the top. Cameras on tripods and a boom rig surround the seating area.
