Night outdoor satsang photographed from behind a large audience seated on red and blue plastic chairs. Many people in the crowd, mostly women in saris and salwar kameez with some men in white shirts, face a brightly lit open-air stage under a white and pink canopy with floral and tassel decorations. On the stage, a central figure sits on a throne-like seat amid flowers and a small deity murti, with a purple-draped platform and a lit display in the middle distance. Strings of lights, banners and a large screen frame the event. A small child in a white shirt and jeans stands on a chair at right.
