Outdoor satsang on a pebbled riverbank at a Ganga ghat. A seated figure on a raised platform beneath a white and gold ceremonial umbrella, wearing orange and saffron robes, appears to address the gathering; a person cue is not clearly established here, as the figure's appearance is not distinct enough to confirm. Around him sit a large crowd of devotees on mats and blankets, many in white kurtas and saffron or red shawls, some with orange garments, others in loose white clothing with long hair. A trident stands to the left, a loudspeaker on a stand at the right, and steps, trees and a small pavilion lie beyond the river.
