A satsang hall with a dark red velvet curtain backdrop. Seated on blue-striped mats, a crowd of devotees sits in rows: men with shaved heads in white kurtas and white dhotis, and women in saffron, orange, green and yellow saris. In the centre a man in orange robes sits facing the audience. A framed painting of a saffron-clad deity or sage stands on an easel-like stand beside the stage, and a cameraman in white with a shaved head films the gathering at lower right.
