Large outdoor evening gathering of devotees seated on mats and cloth along a riverfront at night, with a dark bridge and lit city lights behind them. Many women and some men wear white kurtas or saris with orange-red shawls printed with text, and some have rudraksha malas and small pink or yellow bindi and tilak marks. Several people hold orange bags, water bottles, a cup and a plate of food beside them, and a few wear sunglasses. The crowd fills the frame, extending back up a stone ghat. No single figure is clearly identifiable as the a person from this distance, so no candidate is confirmed. The scene suggests a satsang or discourse audience, with many attendees seated in rows facing forward.2015-05-17A large crowd of devotees sits in rows on a riverbank at dusk, with a steel truss bridge spanning the water behind them.
