Night-time outdoor satsang photographed from the back of a large crowd seated on rows of blue plastic chairs. Hundreds of people, many men in light shirts and women in headscarves and saris, face a lit stage with a central speaker figure in front of a blue backdrop, flanked by a yellow-canopied platform and side screens. Floodlights glow on both sides, green-lit trees stand behind the stage, and a large portrait banner appears at the right edge. The stage figure is too small and distant to identify.
