A satsang stage in a hall with a dark blue draped backdrop. A seated figure in a saffron-orange garment sits on an ornate throne canopy decorated with white and multicolour flower garlands and a red heart-shaped emblem, speaking into a microphone. Around the stage, rows of young girls in pink and white traditional dress sit on the floor with long hair in braids, several holding papers or notebooks. Men in white dhotis and saffron-orange shawls sit to the left, and a bearded man in orange stands at the back near a cameraman in white. Brass pots and banana-leaf or woven baskets of fruit sit at the lower left, with flower petals scattered on the pink-tiled floor.
