A photograph of a satsang stage with an orange-draped platform. A man in white dhoti and white shawl with a sacred thread sits cross-legged on an ornate golden throne with a red cushion, one hand raised in a teaching gesture. Beneath a yellow parasol, he is flanked by garlanded deity murtis and brass lamps, with a tall backdrop of a temple column and forest. Seated devotees in white and orange sit on the platform; one man in white lies prostrate on the floor in front of the throne, and women in white and orange saris sit to the sides. A cameraperson stands near the stage. Garlanded deity images appear on golden thrones at the left and right edges.
