A large outdoor night satsang crowd seated on rows of blue plastic chairs facing a distant illuminated stage. Many attendees wear white shirts and dhotis or saris, with some women in yellow and white saris wearing flower garlands in their hair. Floodlights and a white tent with a red-draped canopy frame the stage area, and a stage backdrop with Tamil lettering is visible at the right. The audience is seated in the foreground while the speaker's platform is far back, too distant to identify any individual on it.

Bright floodlights light the field and strings of bulbs cross overhead. At the far end, a decorated red-and-gold stage with a central canopy and arch is lit, and a figure sits at its centre, too small and distant to describe with confidence. Banners and a signboard stand at the left edge. The gathering is visibly very large but the dense crowd cannot be counted individually.2010-01-08
