A large indoor hall with a stage draped in dark blue curtains and decorated with colourful striped banners and orange tassels. On the stage, a seated figure in red and orange robes sits on an ornate throne decorated with garlands, with a golden deity murti on a golden vahana-style throne beside him. Brass oil lamps stand in a row in front of the stage, and a red-carpeted platform with white skirting sits in the foreground. Rows of seated devotees, many in white and some in saris or salwar, face the stage from the front of the hall. The figure on the throne has long dark hair and a red and orange robe, matching the satsang setting, and appears to be the speaker, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in a seated discourse position. Two projection screens flank the hall at the top.
