Night outdoor gathering on a paved courtyard with a patterned striped mat laid out. Many seated people in saffron-orange robes, several wearing beaded necklaces, sit in rows facing a standing figure in an orange sari-like wrap at centre right. A seated person in white clothes sits on the mat near the front, and a man in white stands at upper right beside a canopy-like parasol at left. Behind them is a stone pillar-style structure with a carved top and string lights overhead. Some people in the background hold cameras. The scene looks like a satsang or discourse gathering, though the exact activity is not clear.
