Outdoor satsang on a raised stage with a red-and-white striped backdrop and potted plants. A man with long dark hair, bare-chested and wearing an orange-red wrap and a red-and-white garland, sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, his feet resting on a small gold footstool. To the left, a deity murti in a gold-framed shrine is decorated with flower garlands, and a gold abhishekam-style basin stands in front of it. Seated before the stage, several women in orange, saffron and blue saris, some with hair tied back and one with long braided hair, face the throne. A pedestal fan and an air cooler stand nearby.
