A large night-time outdoor satsang gathering with a dense crowd of devotees seated on rows of blue plastic chairs across a open ground. Most attendees wear white shirts and dhotis or light clothing, with some in yellow and pink saris. Bright floodlights line the grounds, and a decorated stage with a red and white canopy and orange-trimmed building stands in the background. Individual faces are too small to count precisely; the crowd is well into the hundreds.
