A seated figure in an ornate gold throne dominates a stage at a satsang. He wears an orange-saffron robe with a gold-edged waistcloth, a long flower garland, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, gold armbands and a white tilak on his forehead, and his hand is raised in discourse. A large framed portrait of a turbaned, smiling man in orange stands behind him, with a flower arrangement and gold pillar beside. In front, a man in white with a white forehead mark sits beside two women in red and maroon saris, one with hands folded in namaskar. A brass tray with flowers and offerings sits before the throne, and a microphone stands at the left edge. Visible people are five, including a partly visible woman at right.
