A large seated gathering of devotees in an orange-draped tent, many with hands pressed in anjali and eyes closed during a satsang-style prayer. Women in white and orange or red shawls and saris sit on green mats in the foreground, one woman in a red shawl and orange sari prays with palms together, and another in a gold-bordered white sari reaches toward a brass puja thali with small oil lamps and offerings on a red cloth. Video cameras on tripods film the scene, and framed banners hang on the orange tent walls. Men in white and saffron-trimmed robes are seated behind, and a standing figure at the rear wears a white garment.
