Photograph taken at dusk or night of a large seated audience on stone steps beside dark water, viewed from behind. Many people sit in rows wearing white, pink, blue, orange and red clothing; several shaved heads are visible among them. A few figures in white and saffron stand on the steps at the top of the crowd, near a wooden-railed structure. The scene reads as a satsang or discourse gathering on a riverside ghat. No clearly identifiable central figure is visible, and no readable text appears in the image itself.
