A man stands barefoot at night with palms pressed together in namaste, eyes closed, head bowed. He wears a long rust-orange robe over a dhoti and a thick garland of white jasmine, pink lotus-like blooms and red flowers draped to his waist, with a brown rudraksha-style bead necklace visible at his chest. Behind him, a line of seated people in white clothes sits on colourful striped mats under strings of multicoloured fairy lights, with a tall brass ceremonial pillar at right. The setting suggests an outdoor satsang or puja hall.

A man in rust-orange robes stands centre-frame with palms pressed together in namaste, eyes closed, with a vertical tilak on his forehead. He wears a long garland of white jasmine, pink lotus buds and red flowers, with a brown rudraksha mala beneath. Behind him a tall ornate pillar or shrine structure is partly visible. Seated devotees in white and saffron clothing fill the lower left, with striped rugs on the floor. The figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, with the garlands and namaste pose. Approximately 20 to 30 people are visible in the crowd, which is counted here as 21-100 people.2017-03-16 +1 copiesMarch 16 20172017-03-16 +1 copiesNight event under a corrugated roof with string lights and a bright lamp. A central standing man in a rust-orange robe with bare feet and folded palms, eyes closed, wears a pink and white flower garland and a gold necklace, with a red tilak on his forehead. Two orange-robed men sit at right and a woman in white with a brass plate of offerings sits at left; other devotees, some in white and some in orange, sit on a striped rug.
