A central figure with long, swept-back dark hair wears a white and gold-bordered dhoti-style garment and a green flower garland, arms lifted mid-step. Around him, a ring of men and women in white shirts and white clothing, many with name badges on lanyards, clap, raise arms and dance; one woman wears an orange shawl. The floor is strewn with rose petals and flower bits. Behind them stand white pillars wrapped in garlands of orange and red flowers, pink and white draped curtains, a small fan and a patterned panel. Scattered figures are dancing with hands raised. a person candidate appears to be the central figure, but the appearance cues are only partly distinctive, so identity is uncertain.

Several onlookers in the foreground are blurred. The setting appears to be a satsang or celebratory event.2006-12-17A photograph of a festive hall decorated with orange and cream draped fabric, marigold and multicolour flower garlands, and gold-trimmed columns.

Around him, about a dozen men in white shirts and white dhotis, many wearing rudraksha malas and identity badges, clap and gesture.
