A photograph of an empty ceremonial stage set for a satsang, with a red backdrop and dark side curtains. In the centre sits an ornate golden throne (peetha) draped in garlands of marigolds and flower strings, with a seated figure in orange and white robes and a rudraksha-style necklace placed upon it, presented as a deity-like form rather than a live person. Brass oil lamps (lamps with flames) line the floor in front, and a golden bull (nandi) with a garlanded decorated seat stands at left, holding a similar garlanded throne-style seat. The floor is glossy white with reflections. Overhead are stage lights and a ceiling fan. No living people are visible.
