A seated figure on a raised platform beneath a white and gold ceremonial umbrella, wearing orange and saffron robes, appears to address the gathering; a person cue is not clearly established here, as the figure's appearance is not distinct enough to confirm. Around him sit a large crowd of devotees on mats and blankets, many in white kurtas and saffron or red shawls, some with orange garments, others in loose white clothing with long hair. A trident stands to the left, a loudspeaker on a stand at the right, and steps, trees and a small pavilion lie beyond the river.2014-03-10Outdoor satsang on a pebble riverbank beside the Ganga Ghat.

A man with long dark hair and an orange-red shawl sits on a low wooden chair under a pale yellow parasol at right, legs bare and folded, speaking to the gathering. Around him, dozens of seated devotees in white and orange-red shawls, some in a blue-and-white saree, listen on the stones; a few women in saffron and orange-red sit in a group further right.
