Outdoor session under a green shade cloth stretched over a rustic pavilion with palm trees behind. A bearded figure in a long maroon-brown robe with long matted hair sits in a grey upholstered chair on a red and patterned cushioned dais, seated at the right side, with a silver staff standing beside them. Around them sit a large crowd of young women and men in saffron-orange robes, many with long braided hair, seated on the ground in rows. A woman in a yellow-and-maroon sari sits near the dais. Behind them a man in orange stands holding a phone, and a camera operator with a video camera on a tripod films the scene. Strings of white and red flower garlands hang on the pillar at right, and a standing fan sits near the speaker. A satsang discourse with aadheenavaasis, the disciples, is being held.
