A photograph of a ceremonial satsang at an outdoor pandal. A seated man on a large heart-shaped throne decorated with multicoloured beaded, sequined and marigold embellishments wears a gold crown, gold necklaces and a purple-and-white flower garland, and holds a trishula-topped staff beside him. Probable Swamiji by visible cues: crown, ornate gold jewellery and garland on a throne. Around him, devotees sit on the floor: a man in an orange shawl with a camera operator filming, women in white and cream saris, a woman in pink and a woman in an orange sari. Behind them stands a floral-decked palanquin-style seat holding a small figure in saffron and rudraksha garlands, and a multicoloured fringed canopy overhangs the scene.
