A photograph of an outdoor satsang stage under a large white tent. On the left, a richly carved golden throne-like shrine is decorated with a colourful flower garland. Several seated men in saffron and orange robes sit on a red-draped stage, some with orange head coverings. Centre stage, a standing man in a red turban, saffron-brown shawl and a long garland of beads and flowers holds a microphone-like object and a paper, while another man in a saffron-brown dhoti and shawl stands to the right gesturing with a folded paper. Brass oil lamps stand at the lower right and a speaker sits on the right edge. a person identification is not supported by appearance alone; the standing central figure wears a red turban, garland and beaded necklaces, but the cues are not sufficiently distinctive, so the identity is unsure.
