Night outdoor satsang under trees strung with hanging vines. A seated man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back dark hair and rudraksha-style adornment sits on a red velvet sofa-style seat behind a microphone stand, a probable Swamiji by appearance cues. Beside him a second person in dark clothing sits closer to the audience. Behind them stands a dark stone deity murti with four arms, wearing a turquoise draped cloth, a red-and-orange head wrap, a gold-and-colored necklace and flower garlands. An ornate silver arch frames the altar. Dense rows of seated devotees, many with their backs to the camera, fill the foreground, including a blonde woman and bald man. A white air-conditioning unit and lamps light the scene.

A bearded man with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala stands out, seated on an ornate gold-rimmed throne with a red cushion, wearing an orange-brown robe and a garland of yellow flowers; his hand is raised in a teaching gesture. Two attendants in orange and white sit to his left, one holding a long-handled fan or chamara-like staff. Behind him a large blue-and-gold deity murti in an arched stone niche is set among banyan roots and hanging aerial vines. Several dozen people are visible, many with white hair and bright clothing. Swamiji (probable) is the presenter on the throne, identified by long hair, a mala, a flower garland and orange robe, and is shown in person.2016-11-11November 11 20162016-11-11November 11 20162016-11-11
