A seated gathering in a temple courtyard with a deity murti garlanded in red and orange flowers behind them. A man in orange-brown robes with long hair and a beard holds a microphone and sits at centre-front, flanked by women in colourful saris, including a yellow blouse and green saree, and others in white and blue. A white paper with handwritten text lies on the floor. Many people sit in a semicircle, some with their backs to the camera. Several pillars, a kalasha-style brass lamp and a fan are visible. The scene appears to be a satsang or discourse. Swamiji (probable): the bearded man in saffron-orange robes holding the microphone, seated centrally as the speaker, shows distinctive long hair and a saffron garment.
