A night-time outdoor gathering of a very large crowd, mostly women seated on the ground in rows, many in white saris with coloured borders, some in orange, red, purple and green. Bamboo fencing separates the seating area from a raised stage at the back, lit by bright floodlights on poles. A lone figure in white clothing stands near the fence line in the centre background, and other people in white stand along the far stage area. Some seated women wear white head coverings and hold small bags. The scene looks like a satsang or discourse audience listening attentively.
