A large seated audience fills a pink-canopied tent with a red carpet, attending a satsang. Many devotees sit cross-legged in rows, most women and some men, wearing saffron and orange shawls, white and cream sarees and kurtas, with rudraksha malas and orange headwraps. Several women in the front row wear bright orange and green sarees. A tiered arrangement of offerings or flowers appears at the left edge, banana plants and decorative banners frame the back, and a speaker hangs from the canopy. No individual speaker is clearly visible in the frame. The image carries an archive copyright notice.
