A photograph of a satsang inside a red-walled hall with a golden-canopied raised seat. A figure with long dark hair and a beard, bare-chested and wearing a saffron-orange shawl, sits on a gold-trimmed seat holding a microphone, with a small lectern in front. Brass bells, hanging chains, a golden trident-topped stand and a bronze deity figure frame the stage. Seated devotees in white and cream clothing face the stage, some in orange shawls, and a bald man in white sits near the front. A small electric fan and a bronze figure stand to the right.
