Night outdoor gathering on bare sandy ground where a crowd of many people sits closely packed in rows, mostly women in white and cream sarees and kurtas, with some in orange and green saris. Bright floodlights on stands illuminate the scene against the dark sky. In the foreground a small fire burns on the ground with charred logs and ash. Many attendees wear white clothing typical of satsang gatherings. No single prominent figure is clearly identifiable among the seated crowd, and an orange-robed figure appears at the far left edge.
