A large outdoor satsang gathers under a massive banyan tree with spreading aerial roots. Dozens of devotees in white clothes sit on mats and the ground in rows, many in white and some in red or dark tops. In the centre, a robed teacher sits on a red-cushioned seat in front of a microphone, wearing orange clothing. At the right stands a large orange-robed statue of a sage on a red pedestal, and a black-and-white patterned cloth lies nearby. Round stone platforms surround the tree and the scene is lit by warm evening light.
