Night-time outdoor darshan at a Bhagavad Gita event, lit by overhead floodlights with orange banners and rows of seated devotees behind. In the foreground, a figure with long dark hair wears an orange turban, sleeveless orange robe and a rudraksha mala, and bends forward with hands clasped near a man in a white shirt who leans in, while others in white and orange surround them. A woman in a yellow sari with a braid and a woman in teal, plus a child in a dark shirt, press close. A man in an orange robe stands at right and a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala stands at left. The figure in orange has distinctive long hair, turban, rudraksha and orange robe, so the person is a person, though the appearance is partly obscured by the crowd.
