A photograph of a large seated congregation at an outdoor satsang or discourse. Many women in saris sit cross-legged on mats in the foreground, several with hands raised in folded palms or clapping; one woman in a yellow-orange sari wears a gold necklace and holds a small object, and another in a white sari with a red-and-white border claps. Behind them, rows of men in white dhotis and bare upper bodies, some with rudraksha malas, sit in devotion. A man at the right wears an orange turban and a grey beard. Greenery and a red-and-white striped canopy frame the scene. Visible crowd is large but not every person is shown.
