Night-time darshan at an outdoor satsang. A figure in an orange turban and sleeveless orange robe, with long swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha mala, leans forward and presses his hand to the forehead of a bearded older man in a white shirt and cream dhoti who has his palms pressed together in prayer. Several people stand or sit around them, including a man in a white shirt with a red tilak, and a woman in the lower foreground. Fruit is visible at the right edge and a light and screen are in the background. The orange-robed figure is consistent with Swamiji (probable) from the cues of long swept-back hair, orange turban, orange clothing and rudraksha mala, though the image does not confirm identity.

A night-time photograph of a long-haired figure in a saffron-orange turban and sleeveless saffron-orange garment, with a red tilak on the forehead, placing a hand on the crown of a bald, grey-bearded man in a blue-and-white striped shirt who bows with palms pressed together. Around them stand several onlookers in white and cream shirts, one wearing an orange shawl, with bright coloured lights glowing in the background.
