Outdoor satsang in a dusty, tree-shaded compound. A seated figure in orange robes and a red-and-orange garland of rudraksha beads sits on a red-draped platform before a large golden deity murti under a tiered canopy decorated with colourful garlands. Around him, a dense crowd of devotees in orange and saffron robes sits on the ground, mostly shaved-headed men and long-haired women with bare heads. A cameraman stands at left, and a woman in orange stands at right beside a small table. Bare trees and a low wall frame the scene.
