Night outdoor gathering on a grassy lawn lit by lamps and string lights, with palm trees in the dark background. A large crowd of devotees sits on white cloths in a wide circle, most dressed in white. At the centre, a figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a raised platform near a blue-draped table with lit candles and offerings. Other people in orange and red sit beside him. A tall ornamental lantern and a lit oil lamp stand in the middle, and a tall decorated pole with a golden tiered ornament rises at the back. The gathering appears to be a night satsang or puja.
