Outdoor satsang at an ashram courtyard. A figure in an orange robe with long dark hair sits with their back to the camera on a low orange-cushioned seat, facing a seated audience of mostly women in white, cream and pastel saris and kurtas. A large orange banner behind the audience reads 'Dasara' with Kannada text and a portrait of a smiling man with a saffron turban and orange robe; a dark stone statue of a deity garlanded with yellow marigolds stands at the left, and a second banner shows a deity figure with a crown. A brass oil lamp sits in the foreground with red-and-white painted low wall in front. Swamiji (probable) cues on the banner portrait: saffron turban and orange robe, shown on a printed banner.
