Evening outdoor satsang on a lawn at night, lit by lamps, with a large seated audience of mostly white-clad devotees facing a ceremonial setup. In the foreground, a man in a red-and-gold embroidered outfit and a red turban sits on a gold-framed seat with a leopard-print cushion, hands together in front of him. Nearby, several people in red and orange robes sit on a yellow rug before a brass puja arrangement with kalasha-like vessels, and a table with a blue cloth holds potted plants and offerings. Hotel balconies rise behind the lawn. The scene suggests a padapuja and satsang setting, though no printed name is visible.
