Outdoor satsang at an ashram courtyard with orange-painted buildings and a striped canopy strung with red pennants and tall decorated poles. On a raised striped platform a seated figure in orange sits on a red armchair beneath an ornate golden backdrop, with a golden peetha and a deity murti nearby; the figure's face and features are not clearly visible, so no appearance-based identification is made. In the foreground a woman in a leopard-print top sits on a mat facing the stage, with a brass lamp beside her, and a kolam of white and coloured patterns is drawn on the ground. Dozens of seated devotees in white and mixed colours fill the courtyard, with a banner reading Life Bliss Program on the right.
