Outdoor evening satsang on a lawn lit by lanterns, with a gilded throne under a yellow fringed Balinese parasol. A man in a red-brown embroidered ceremonial outfit and red turban sits on the throne, his hand extended toward a tray. A shaved-headed sannyasi in orange robes kneels on a white rug offering a tray of incense or sticks. Behind them a man in white with a lanyard watches, and a row of seated women and men in white and dark clothes sit on the grass listening. Appearance cues on the throne figure are limited, so identity is uncertain; the page indicates a person was present at this event.
