Photograph of a satsang hall with a gold-carved and red-curtained stage. On two white-and-red thrones sit two seated figures: a man in orange robes wearing a rudraksha mala and a garland, and a figure in dark red-brown clothing with a crown and a gold necklace. In front, many bald men in white dhotis with gold borders sit cross-legged on mats with rudraksha malas, their backs to the camera. A video camera on a tripod and a stand fan stand at the right side. Women in orange are seated among the crowd. The scene appears to be a formal discourse.
