A stage event photographed from the audience side. A seated figure in orange robes with a yellow-and-white flower garland sits on an ornate gold throne set within a large floral arch of orange, yellow, purple and red marigolds, topped by a yellow canopy with fringe. Around the stage, several people in orange robes, white dhotis and white shirts stand near a seated elderly man in cream clothing, and one man in an orange sash with a garland is present. A video camera on a tripod and a standing fan are in front of the stage, with an audience seated below. The page's flag indicates a person is at this event, but the seated figure's appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity; the figure is described by role only.

Several men in white dhotis and white shawls sit cross-legged on the left of the stage, some with chanting or ritual props, and women in green and pink saris sit nearby. A camera on a tripod and a monitor are placed in front of the stage in the foreground.

The seated central figure wears an orange robe and a red-beaded rudraksha mala. Below the stage, several people sit on orange cloth: at left a man in white dhoti with a gold necklace and sandalwood-marked chest, a shaved-headed man in orange beside a microphone, a woman in a green sari, a woman in white with a gold border, and a woman in white and yellow at right. Brass plates and kalasha-like vessels rest on the floor, and standing fans and an overhead ceiling fan are visible. A candidate for the throne-seated figure is present in the scene with a probable match to a person based on the orange robe, rudraksha mala and garlanded throne, though the face is not clear enough to confirm and the figure appears to be a presiding teacher addressing a satsang.2010-10-25November 18 20102010-11-18 +1 copiesA photograph of a ceremonial satsang on a raised stage.
