A stage set for a satsang, with a seated figure in an orange robe on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions, hands folded in greeting. Behind the throne hang two floral garlands framing deity murtis, and a yellow canopy hangs above. Four gilded vahana-style mounts with garlands stand on wheeled bases on either side. Red carpet covers the stage floor, and a dark backdrop with a stone temple-style image surrounds the area. Stage lights hang from the ceiling. Deity murti identities are not clear from the image. The orange-robed figure is seated centre-stage at a satsang.
