Outdoor temple-style satsang under a canopy with a white shrine structure behind. A deity murti pair stands on a raised red-draped platform, garlanded with marigolds, one figure holding a trident. In front, a seated figure in saffron/orange robes sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, speaking to the gathering while a video camera on a tripod films. Many devotees in white dhotis and shawls with maroon borders sit on the floor in rows, several bare-chested, facing the throne. Gold-framed decorative pillars with colourful patterned fabric frame the left edge, and a metal railing separates the seated audience on the right. Some devotees wear orange garments. Dense greenery is visible beyond the structure. A caption on the seated figure's presentation is not visible; the figure is shown with a distinctive appearance but identity is uncertain from appearance alone, so it is described by role.
