A night-time outdoor satsang on a raised stage. A figure seated on the stage wears orange robes and sits between two ornate decorated poles hung with fabric and a banner. The seated figure's appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, so the role is given as speaker on stage. Dense rows of seated devotees in orange and saffron clothing fill the foreground and midground, facing the stage. A video camera on a tripod is set up at the right edge of the stage area, and a low brick wall with a red flag stands behind the crowd.
