Night photo of a Maha Shivaratri satsang. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes, an orange shawl and a gold-bead necklace smiles as he hands small red objects toward women seated at a golden lion-shaped seat in the foreground. Several men in orange robes with white forehead markings and gold necklaces stand behind, and a woman in white and a woman in black lean forward holding papers. Flower garlands in red, orange, yellow and purple decorate the backdrop. The man in saffron is recognizable by his long hair, shawl and gold beads, so this appearance-based match is labelled Swamiji (probable) as a seated speaker distributing items during the event.
