A photograph of an outdoor satsang under a large red canopy with patterned fabric and striped bunting. On the right, a figure seated on an ornate throne against a gold-foil backdrop is draped in orange cloth and garlands; the page indicates a person, but the appearance is uncertain, so this is unsure. Several people in white ritual clothing stand in a semicircle with hands folded in namaskar, one woman in white gesturing at the centre. Seated devotees in white fill the lower left foreground, some with cameras. A white-clothed table holds brass vessels, flower garlands and a framed image, and a monk in orange stands near the throne. The setting is an open-air pandal in front of a white wall.
