Photograph of a temple-style satsang hall decorated with abundant white and orange flower garlands and brass oil lamps in the foreground. A seated figure wearing a dark orange-brown turban, a white-and-saffron garland and a rudraksha-style mala sits on a gold-and-maroon cushioned throne before a microphone stand. Behind him stands a painted image of a four-armed deity in a blue-skinned style with a crown and necklaces. On the left, a decorated palanquin or ornate seat with red and gold fringed canopies holds a deity murti, and a gold-trimmed throne rises in the centre. Red and gold patterned carpet covers the floor, and a maroon curtain hangs behind.
