Saffron curtains hang at the sides. In the foreground, shaven-headed devotees in saffron and white sit on the floor facing the throne, and a video camera on a tripod records the scene. The setting is an outdoor open-air pavilion with trees behind the railing. Around ten people are visible in total.

Brass lamps and offerings stand near the throne. The setting is an open-air temple courtyard with orange curtains, carved stone walls and a green garden behind. This appears to be a padapuja, with devotees gathered at the feet of the seated figure. The seated man's identity is only appearance-based.2010-09-14A photograph of an outdoor satsang in front of a stone shrine with two deity murtis clad in red and garlanded, one holding a trident-like staff.

Behind him stands a deity murti in red garments and a crown-like headdress, holding a trident-like staff. A gold kalasha-style stand and brass lamps sit nearby, with a small floral arrangement on a golden table in front. A microphone stand is at right beside red-and-white striped pillars and an orange-walled building. Given the page's Swamiji flag and the appearance cues of long hair, saffron robes and rudraksha mala, this is a probable Swamiji (probable) seated for a satsang in a temple courtyard.2010-11-06
