A photograph at a night satsang event. A man with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head arms, draped in orange saffron robes, a red and yellow marigold garland around his neck, and a dark rudraksha-style mala near his waist. Swamiji (probable) is the presiding teacher: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial garlands. Seated before him on the floor, a young woman in an orange sari presses her palms together in namaskar, another woman in a red sari and a woman in a green sari do the same, and a young woman in a white top watches. A foreground woman with blonde hair leans forward holding a plate of rice and flowers, possibly offering padapuja. A white tower cooler, a gold-and-red floral canopy and string lights frame the scene, with more people in the dark background.
