Outdoor satsang on red sandstone steps beside a water tank at the ashram. A seated figure in a bright orange-red clothing sits on a cushioned low seat, and a second figure sits in a large orange armchair draped with a cloth, wearing white and a deity-like bejewelled garment on a raised platform under a decorated canopy. Rows of seated devotees in orange and saffron robes fill the steps, with several women in white saris and men in white at the top. A standing man in red robes stands near a camera on a tripod at left, and a microphone stand is in front. Crowd is large, with many dozens of people visible.
