Evening satsang in a gold-and-red ornate hall. A man in an orange-red robe sits cross-legged on a raised golden throne-like seat in front of a white bull statue and deity murtis draped in garlands of marigold and flowers. Flanking the central dais are golden arched shrines with additional deity murtis, and red curtains hang behind. Dozens of seated devotees in white dhotis and white shawls, some bare-chested, face the stage, while a camera crew on tripods films the proceedings. Orange-robed sannyasis sit to the right. The seated man's appearance is not clearly identifiable from this view, so the depicted figure is described only by role.
