Outdoor satsang on a paved courtyard before a red temple structure. Many women in saffron-orange saris with red borders sit cross-legged on mats, many wearing long rudraksha malas and braided fibre or bead ornaments. Some hold notebooks, a woman in front looks at a mobile phone, and a few women in white or pink saris sit or stand in the background. A tripod-mounted camera stands at right and a tree and red pillars frame the scene. The audience listens attentively to the discourse.
