Night outdoor satsang photographed from behind a crowd of seated devotees with many heads and shoulders in the foreground. A bearded man with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala stands out, seated on an ornate gold-rimmed throne with a red cushion, wearing an orange-brown robe and a garland of yellow flowers; his hand is raised in a teaching gesture. Two attendants in orange and white sit to his left, one holding a long-handled fan or chamara-like staff. Behind him a large blue-and-gold deity murti in an arched stone niche is set among banyan roots and hanging aerial vines. Several dozen people are visible, many with white hair and bright clothing. Swamiji (probable) is the presenter on the throne, identified by long hair, a mala, a flower garland and orange robe, and is shown in person.
