Outdoor photograph of a large crowd gathered on a bare dusty ground under a pale evening sky with palm trees and a row of trees behind them. In the foreground at left, a long-haired figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe stands facing the crowd, seen from behind, with the sandals visible. The gathered devotees, mostly in white ritual clothes with some in pink, green, blue and red saris and kurtas, stand with palms pressed together in anjali. A man in white holds a camera near the middle of the group, and children stand among the adults at left. Lamp-like objects are not clearly visible on the ground. Consistent with a satsang gathering on the evening of Krishna Janmashtami, though only the saffron-robed figure's cues are visible; identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
