Night outdoor gathering on a lawn at a padapuja or satsang, with devotees seated on grass and paving stones in white clothing, many with hands joined in namaskar. A woman in the left foreground wears a rust-red sari with gold border and sits with her back to the camera. Small oil lamps and a lit fire pit with offerings sit in the centre, and a canopy edges the top left. At the far right, a figure in orange robes sits near a raised platform. Lit lamps and an apartment-style building with balconies form the background, and roughly fifty people are visible.
