A night outdoor satsang at an ashram courtyard. A figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a raised platform or dais at centre, with a lit fire or flame burning in front of the platform. Two other seated figures in orange clothing sit nearby on the platform. Dense crowd of seated devotees in white clothing and white head coverings fills the foreground, facing the platform. Behind the dais, a fountain sprays water beside a white railing, with illuminated lights and a wooden structure above. Warm lamps light the scene against the dark night sky.
