A photograph of a seated puja or aarti in a bright room with bookshelves behind. A figure in orange robes and a red-and-black tiger-striped lower garment sits on a gilded throne at right, holding a lit flame toward a seated devotee, with a white and orange flower garland on his shoulders. Around them, devotees sit on the floor with palms pressed together; several wear white clothes and yellow shawls, a woman in a white sari with a maroon border sits with folded hands, and a man in a white shirt and glasses prays nearby. A woman in white kneels at lower left beside a tray of oil lamps. A small wooden shrine decorated with marigold garlands stands at left. Several other men in orange and white are visible in the background.

A man with long dark hair, wearing a yellow-orange shawl and a flower garland over the shoulders, sits on the elevated seat, with a garland of marigolds and red flowers draped around the throne and fruit on a silver tray at the left edge. Seated before him on the floor are devotees in white dhotis and shawls, several women in red and orange saris, and a woman in the foreground with hands pressed together in namaskar. Silver trays holding red flowers, petals and offerings sit on a golden stand in front of the seated group. Lamps glow on the floor at the right. A visible shawl, the throne and the garlands mark this as a formal satsang gathering, with the central figure presiding.
