Photograph of a large indoor gathering at night under a decorated tent-style pavilion. Dozens of seated devotees in white shirts and white dhotis fill the foreground, sitting on white cloth with their backs to the camera. On a raised stage at the back, several standing men wear white clothes with saffron-orange shawls and red sashes. Behind them hang a large framed portrait and a garlanded deity image, with orange and gold drapes, green foliage strung across the top, and hanging lanterns and tassels at the sides. A white-clad figure sits at a small table at the left edge. The scene suggests a satsang or program gathering.
