Outdoor satsang at an open stone shrine with a red curtain backdrop, where a long-haired figure in orange robes sits on a white-draped seat on a green mat, speaking into a microphone on a stand.

Around thirty seated devotees in white clothes, a few in saffron or brown shawls and a woman in a white head covering face the dais on the ground, with trees and a red-and-white painted wall behind.
