Several people sit on ornate gold-framed thrones along the back of a central platform, including a figure in white dhoti and shawl in the middle and a woman in a light purple sari seated beside. Standing rows of participants in saffron, orange, white and multicoloured saris and white dhotis line the back and sides.

Many devotees, mostly women in saris, salwar and blouses in red, orange, pink, blue and white, sit cross-legged on the floor facing a raised stage. Several women hold brass plates of flowers and puja offerings. On the right, a figure in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha beads sits on a raised seat beside a silver swan-shaped vessel and a garland of marigolds, with a tall ceremonial staff behind. Several shaven-headed men in white or red ritual clothing sit near the stage. The scene suggests a satsang or puja, and the central figure matches the page description of a discourse.2018-01-01
