Night outdoor satsang by a river. A seated figure on a leopard-print-covered seat under a gold-fringed yellow umbrella presses palms together in namaste; he wears a red-orange turban, saffron-orange draped clothing, a gold necklace and gold armbands, and carries a visible ceremonial look. A brass kalasha, a silver bowl and a silver pitcher stand on a brocade-covered table with white flower garlands and scattered red petals. A bald saffron-robed monk with a rudraksha mala sits beside the table. Around fifteen to twenty seated devotees in white, saffron and dark clothing sit on the ground, several with hands folded, under lights reflecting on the water behind. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure in turban and gold jewellery is presented as the teacher, with cues of red-orange turban, gold necklace and ceremonial dress.
