Outdoor satsang under a corrugated metal pavilion roof supported by tall posts, with palm trees behind. Many people sit cross-legged on white mats across a paved courtyard facing a raised stage at the far end, where several figures in white stand near an orange-painted building. In the foreground, women in white saris and a woman in a leopard-print top sit on mats, and a woman in a red shawl sits on the left near a small tree. A black Nandi bull statue rests on a red-and-white pedestal on the left, beside a tall red column. Several saffron-clad people sit near the left edge. A man in a white dhoti and a bald, white-clad figure sit near the centre-right. The scene reads as a group meditation or discourse gathering.
