Night photograph of a large outdoor crowd seated on the ground facing a brightly lit stage at an open-air satsang. Hundreds of attendees, mostly men in white shirts and white dhotis, sit in rows behind a rope barrier, with some in checked shirts, green and grey clothing and a green head cloth. Floodlights on a metal tower illuminate the scene, and a large screen shows a projected image beside a stage draped in red and white with orange hangings. A painted backdrop banner stands at the right edge, and a few figures in white stand near the barrier. The crowd is too dense and distant to count precisely.
