In the foreground, an elderly sadhu with a long grey beard and an orange turban holds a tall gold trident and a small hand drum. Beside him, two men in orange robes with vertical tilak marks sit closely, one wearing glasses, the other bald with a forehead mark. Behind them a woman in a red shawl sits among men in orange and white clothing, and a man in a rudraksha mala sits to the right.

A large iron trident stands at left beside a man in red and white. Some men wear white shirts, dark shawls or maroon scarves, and a bare-chested man with white markings sits at right.

No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person by appearance.2013-02-10February 12 20132013-02-12A photograph of a seated congregation inside a bright red-orange tent at a satsang. Many men sit on green mats facing a raised white-draped dais at right, where a gold-trimmed canopy or throne-like structure stands with colourful tassels hanging above. Several people wear white dhotis and shawls; one sits in saffron robes with a rudraksha mala and another in pink wrap. A blonde Western woman in white sits at left. A banner hangs on the back wall and a flag-like pennant stands at left. Several seated men lean forward attentively. One saffron-robed figure with a white shawl and long hair sits near the dais, and the tallest visible figure with flowing hair and ornate clothing is ambiguous, so identity is uncertain.2013-02-08February 08 20132013-02-08
