A photograph of an outdoor satsang session under a tiled canopy decorated with red, green and white tassels and garlands of red, yellow and white flowers. A bearded man in a saffron-orange robe sits on a cushioned seat, one hand raised mid-gesture while speaking into a microphone, and holds a sheet of paper. Gold trident-topped staffs and kalasha-style brass finials flank him, and a black speaker and a floor fan stand to the side. A large audience of mostly seated people, many in orange garments and white clothing with dreadlocked or bun hairstyles, faces him from the foreground. Behind them is a whitewashed building wall with a window and doorway. The man has long, swept-back hair and a beard, wears an orange robe and a rudraksha-style necklace, and fits the visible cues for a person, so this is an appearance-based candidate only.
