Outdoor satsang on a wide pebbled riverbank. A large seated crowd of devotees fills the foreground, mostly in white and orange-red garments with orange-red shawls and headscarves, sitting on mats and cloth. At centre a figure in orange-red robes stands holding a long staff or sceptre, with a white ceremonial umbrella raised above, while a robed attendant stands at the right beside a speaker stand. Trees, hills and a distant ghat are visible behind. A figure in orange-red robes stands at centre and is the apparent teacher, but appearance cues are insufficient to name him from the image.
