A seated man in saffron-orange robes over a red top sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with white jasmine and red flower garlands, with a small bindi on his forehead and long swept-back hair. He rests one hand on an orange cloth on his lap and speaks while a woman in a white sari with red floral embroidery, her hair in a long braid, bends forward toward him with her hand on the throne arm. Behind them a young man in a blue checked shirt looks on. A plate of fruit and sweets sits on a red tiger-stripe cloth beside the throne. A man in white dhoti-style clothing stands at the right edge. The setting suggests darshan or a satsang gathering.

A small golden footstool sits in front of the throne, and a backdrop of golden-brown floral imagery frames the stage.

A young man in an orange robe with a beaded necklace stands at the upper left under a white tent canopy.

A smiling figure in a red-orange robe and red undershirt sits on the throne with a rudraksha mala around the neck, a pineapple held near him, and a red vermilion mark on the forehead. Two women in white and floral-patterned saris reach toward him with garlands or offerings, and a man in a white shirt stands at left with his back to the camera.

A man in white shirt and dhoti holding a microphone stands at left, and a coconut and offering items lie on the cloth at the lower left. Appearance-based candidate is a person seated on the throne, wearing saffron-orange robes and a red tilak, with long swept-back hair; the page does not place him at this event, so the identification is uncertain.2009-06-14
