A large outdoor gathering under a white canopy with red scalloped drapes and red-and-white striped poles. A dense crowd of several hundred people sits on the ground and on rows of seats, with many women in white and cream saris edged with coloured borders and yellow-and-orange sashes, and men in white shirts. Two people in white, one with a yellow shawl and one with a yellow sash, sit on a raised red-draped dais near a black tripod-mounted video camera. Water jugs and brass bells sit on the front table, and a green-and-white waste bin is visible at the front. The scene looks like a satsang or discourse event.
