A night-time outdoor satsang on a raised platform. On the left, a golden deity murti with a crown, multiple arms and a red silk drape sits within a gold arched frame, decorated with a silver necklace and flowers. In the centre-right, a man in orange robes with a white forehead band and a long gold-beaded necklace sits cross-legged on a patterned orange-and-red cushioned seat, hands folded, looking to the side; the figure has long swept-back hair, a distinctive appearance with several qualifying cues, so this is a person in person. Behind him, a seated man in orange with rudraksha beads, and rows of seated devotees in orange and white clothing fill the dark background. A brass kalasha, a metal pot with a blue patterned base, and flower offerings sit in the foreground, and a tall orange flag edges the right side.
