A photograph of a seated group of devotees in orange and rust-coloured garments at a gathering. In the foreground a young man with curly hair and white horizontal tilaka-style marks on his forehead and bare shoulders holds a black microphone to his mouth and speaks. Beside him a bearded man with long dreadlocked hair and white body markings wears a rust-brown shawl and rudraksha beads. Behind them, several children in bright orange turbans and saffron wraps sit smiling. A man at the far right in glasses and a rust shawl also sits in the row. No throne or a person candidate is visible, so no appearance-based identification is made. The scene suggests a ritual or satsang setting with people seated on a mat.
