Night outdoor photo of a group of about a dozen men seated on woven straw mats and bare ground, facing toward the camera in a semi-circle. Most wear plain white shirts and white dhotis or trousers; one man in the centre wears a white shirt and dhoti, and another at the right wears a white shirt with grey trousers. A shirtless man stands out among them. Behind them are dark walls, a tarpaulin and piled debris. The page describes an evening satsang talk, but no speaker or throne is visible in the frame; the seated group appears to be attentive listeners with hands folded.
