A large evening gathering under a white tent with hanging oil lamps and string lights. Many men sit cross-legged on mats, most bare-chested or in white dhotis, many wearing rudraksha malas and folded hands in prayer or palms raised. Some wear white shirts and trousers. Ornate gold-and-colored decorations and deity murti displays frame the background stage area, and a camera crew is at the right edge. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person from visible cues, so the a person field is unsure.

Dozens of devotees sit on mats in rows with palms pressed together in anjali, many bare-chested with rudraksha malas and white dhoti or veshti; some wear white kurtas and orange cloth. Behind them, decorated deity murti and a festive mandap with hanging lanterns and greenery frame the scene. A slightly built white-bearded man in white on the left also sits with hands folded. The setting suggests a sacred night ritual or satsang.

A few people in the foreground have hands folded or fingers to their faces. Several visible figures wear wraps and beads, but no single person in front is clearly a person; the shaved and bearded men in the middle and left are devotees. Many people are visible, with several more partially seen at the edges.2016-12-07
