A large audience sits in dim, tiered seating at night, viewed from behind. Most attendees wear white clothing, with several shaved heads, a woman with a red shawl, a woman in a patterned pink-and-green wrap, and a woman with a dark ponytail in white. Near the centre-right, a figure in saffron-orange robes sits at the front of the seating area, apparently facing a microphone stand, with a blue-and-white logo visible on the dark wall at upper left. The scene suggests a discourse or satsang in an open-air auditorium.

Photograph taken at dusk or night of a large seated audience on stone steps beside dark water, viewed from behind. Many people sit in rows wearing white, pink, blue, orange and red clothing; several shaved heads are visible among them. A few figures in white and saffron stand on the steps at the top of the crowd, near a wooden-railed structure. The scene reads as a satsang or discourse gathering on a riverside ghat. No clearly identifiable central figure is visible, and no readable text appears in the image itself.2010-09-02September 02 20102010-09-02Photo 82902802010-01-01 +2 copiesSeptember 02 20102010-09-02 +1 copiesSeptember 13 20102010-09-13Night-time photograph of a large seated congregation under a covered hall lit by overhead lamps and a string of small orange lights along the back wall.

A woman in an orange shawl sits near the centre, and a man in a white shirt with a lanyard is at right. Several people wear dark rudraksha-style or white neck cords. The stage area and any central figure are not visible. A small white banner hangs on a pole in the middle distance.2011-12-08A night-time outdoor gathering of many seated devotees on stone steps, facing a distant figure in white standing near a raised platform at the right. Most attendees wear white or grey clothes; a few wear orange, blue and pink, and some have shaved heads. Many have their hands folded or heads bowed. A metal railing and staircase run along the upper area, with a lit banner-like platform edge at the right.

In the centre, a man with long, swept-back dark hair wears an orange-saffron robe and holds one hand raised near his face while speaking into a microphone on a stand. Beside him, a bald man in orange robes sits with his back partly turned. Around them, devotees in white and saffron clothing, some in glasses, watch attentively, and a bald man in white sits in the foreground. A red-and-brown striped cloth lies across the lower steps. The appearance of the central figure is consistent with the page's reference to a person based on long hair and saffron robe, though this is uncertain.2010-09-02December 11 20162016-12-11 +1 copiesDecember 11 20082008-12-11A night-time outdoor photograph of a large seated audience on tiered stone steps, lit by a single distant floodlight on a tall pole at right.
