A photograph of a large seated audience at an evening outdoor session, lit by electric lights against a dark night sky. Women and girls in the foreground sit on blue and cream plastic chairs wearing saffron-orange and red shawls over white, cream, and patterned salwar kameez; one girl in a green hooded top sits at left, and a woman with fair hair sits in white at centre. Several have hands folded or rest their hands on their laps with eyes lowered. Behind them many men and women in white and orange clothing fill rows of chairs, and a few palm trees and poles are visible at the back. No speaker or presiding figure is clearly visible in this frame.

A night-time evening gathering under a canvas tent with wooden poles, where many people sit on blue and red plastic chairs facing forward. Most wear white kurtas or saffron-orange shawls, and several wear rudraksha malas. A man in the centre-left wears an orange shawl and sits with hands together, while a man on the right wears a white outfit with an orange shawl. A young man in white with a mala holds a hand to his mouth. Strings of lights glow in the upper right corner. A satsang-style audience listens attentively.

Nearby, a bare-chested man with white ash markings on his arms and a red-brown rudraksha-garlanded sash sits in white. Several seated devotees wear white dhotis and orange or red shawls, some with rudraksha malas and tilak. Behind them, many more people in white and red sit in rows, and a few wear orange robes. The mood is attentive and composed.
