A photograph taken at night of a seated spiritual teacher in a saffron-orange robe, hands pressed together in namaskar, on a gold-trimmed throne beneath two orange tasselled canopies. Seated devotees in white clothing, some wearing orange or red shawls and rudraksha-style beads, fill the open pavilion, with several people hands folded in prayer. A large oil lamp with a bright flame burns in the foreground, and white curtains frame the scene. A standing man in white near the back also has his hands together. The setting suggests a satsang or padapuja gathering.
