Outdoor satsang on a pebbled riverbank beside a wide grey-green river with hazy hills behind. A man with long dark hair and an orange-red shawl sits on a low wooden chair under a pale yellow parasol at right, legs bare and folded, speaking to the gathering. Around him, dozens of seated devotees in white and orange-red shawls, some in a blue-and-white saree, listen on the stones; a few women in saffron and orange-red sit in a group further right. A small deity murti and a black bag lie near the chair. Appearance cues are visible on the seated speaker (long hair, orange-red shawl and bare-legged posture), so the page's Swamiji claim is a probable identification.
