A stage event with three ornate gold-and-red thrones behind a long white table draped with white cloth and garlanded with orange and yellow flowers. The central seated figure wears an orange-red turban, an orange-saffron robe and long beaded rudraksha malas, with long dark hair and a steady gaze, a candidate matching a person in a central honoured seat with distinctive saffron robe, turban and malas. A woman in a green sari with gold jewellery sits to the left, and a man in a white shirt sits to the right beside a bottle of water. Two men in grey and dark shirts stand or lean behind the thrones. A large red Tamil banner behind them reads the Tamil words for meditation satsang with a date line.

Three people sit on ornate gold-and-red thrones draped with marigold garlands. The central figure wears a saffron-orange turban and saffron robes, a long braid over one shoulder, holds an open book and a microphone, and appears to be speaking.

To his right a man in a white shirt and glasses sits with a water bottle before him. A standing man in a grey shirt holds a microphone at the right edge. The setting is a daytime indoor stage with marigold garlands along the platform front.2008-04-27 +1 copiesApril 27 20082008-04-27April 27 20082008-04-27A stage at a Tamil-language meditation satsang event.
