Outdoor satsang gathering in front of a whitewashed building with a terracotta-tiled veranda, decorated with a striped cloth canopy, marigold and red-flower garlands, and trident (trishul) standards on either side. A woman in a saffron-orange garment sits cross-legged at the centre, hands in anjali mudra, facing a seated crowd on blue and white mats. Many devotees wear white or cream dhotis and sarees and saffron-orange shawls, some bare-shouldered; several older men in white sit at left, and children sit in the front row at lower left. A standing attendant in orange stands at the far left beside a large snake-like prop and a speaker. Some people hold a sheet or notebook. No figure in the scene is clearly identifiable as the a person, so the central speaker is described by role only.
