Night outdoor gathering of a large seated crowd on red-brick terraced steps beside a palm tree, with a dark pool or water area at left. Many people sit closely in rows, mostly in white and cream clothing, with some in orange, saffron, blue and green garments; several wear lanyards and some women wear sarees and salwar kameez. Some attendees sit with palms joined or eyes closed in meditation or satsang, while others look toward the stage. A few faces are lit by soft evening light. The scene is a devotee gathering, not a single identifiable leader in clear view.
