Large evening gathering of men seated closely on the ground under a white cloth canopy with wooden poles, at a nighttime satsang or program. Most are bare-chested or in white dhotis with white sacred thread across the shoulders, several with white and orange-red forehead markings and rudraksha or red beaded necklaces. A few wear white shirts, and one older man in front wears a white shirt with an ID badge. The crowd fills the frame to the back of the tent, and a small blue bird logo appears in the top left corner.
