Night-time outdoor satsang with devotees seated on a raised stone platform. A man with long dark hair, wearing red-orange robes and rudraksha beads, sits on an ornate gold throne under a fringed orange canopy, holding a small object in his hand. Nearby seated attendants wear red and white clothes; a woman in white with a long braid sits in the foreground, and a figure in orange-red robes stands at left beside a lit torch. Audience members in white and red garments with red beaded necklaces sit before white curtains and lamp light. The person on the throne matches the page's Swamiji (probable) cues: long hair, saffron-orange robes and rudraksha beads, seated in a ceremonial role. Approximately 25 people are visible.
