Bright lights and a video camera on a tripod are set up at the front, and a cameraman stands at right. Several figures sit in the foreground with saffron-orange garments.

Floodlights and a strip of festive string lights glow at the back. Near the centre, a bearded figure in a long orange-saffron robe sits among the crowd, distinguished by his long white beard and flowing saffron garment; this is an appearance-based candidate for a person, seated in the crowd and not on a throne, with the cues being the saffron robe and long beard, which is uncertain enough to set a person to unsure. Many people sit with eyes closed in meditation.2010-02-12December 18 20172017-12-18Night photo of a large seated congregation at a satsang, filling the frame with many people in white, saffron and orange-red robes.
