Night outdoor satsang with a man seated on a gold lion-armrested throne, wearing an orange-saffron dhoti-style garment, an orange turban and a long red and white flower garland; he smiles while facing a seated group. Many devotees sit on a green mat with hands folded in anjali, including men in white shirts, a woman in a maroon sari, a woman in a red-bordered sari, a girl in a pink top, and women in white saris. A camera operator in a pink shirt with headphones films from a tripod at right. A string of lights and trees appear behind, with a few people standing in the background. Several people are visible, and a copper-coloured vessel sits near the front, with a white candle or lamp on a stool beside the throne.

A man in an orange turban and orange clothing, with a red and yellow flower garland and a sacred thread on his bare upper body, sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, holding a ceremonial staff. Seated devotees in front, including a woman in a white sari and a woman in a dark green sari with a gold border, have their palms pressed together or hold brass plates of offerings and fruit on the green mat. Behind them, a shirtless priest in white sits and more people in white stand in the background. Plastic water bottle on the right side of the throne.2012-04-06A photograph of a seated figure in a rust-red robe with a leopard-print cloth draped over the lap, wearing a flower garland of yellow, orange and white blooms and a tilak on the forehead, handing a small green fruit to a woman in a white sari with a gold-rimmed face and a bead necklace, while a man in a white shirt kneels beside her with his hands cupped. Behind them, women stand in a row: one in a yellow sari with a purple border, one in a white outfit with a rudraksha-style beaded necklace, and others in brown and white. A tall garland-wrapped pole stands in the background against wood-panelled walls, and a large gold ornamental object is visible at the lower left. The seated figure's appearance is uncertain, so the description records only the role and clothing.2014-05-17March 22 20082008-03-22
