A man in orange robes with long swept-back dark hair, a red-and-orange sash, a rudraksha mala and a red tilak stands with palms joined at the front of a covered hall with a corrugated metal roof. Behind him, a line of women in white saris with yellow shawls and orange-clad women stand on a red carpet, some with hands folded in devotion. A tripod-mounted camera stands near the group, and a brass vessel rests on a table at left. Metal railings line the right side where more devotees in white stand. A red sign on the orange wall reads that more than 20,000 people are served daily at Anandeshwara-Anandeshwari. The man has distinctive long hair and orange-and-rudraksha adornments, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in person, leading the satsang.
