A night-time outdoor satsang, photographed from the back of a large crowd seated on blue plastic chairs across an open field. Many attendees are visible, many women wearing headscarves in yellow, white and teal, and men in light shirts. At the far end, a lit stage with a blue backdrop and a gold-trimmed canopy holds a small figure in orange, with two large screens flanking the stage and green-lit trees behind. A low railing and a tall lit structure appear at the right edge. The faces of the seated crowd are small and distant, so individuals cannot be picked out.
