Night-time outdoor satsang on a paved courtyard. A central figure sits on an orange-red cushioned chair, wearing a deep-orange sari-style garment and holding one hand near the chin. Around them, about fifteen devotees sit cross-legged on coloured mats: men in white with red shawls on the left, women in white kurtas with red shawls, a woman in a pink-and-patterned sari with a white hair bow, and a white-haired woman in white in the foreground. Behind them, a lit shrine holds a colourful deity murti with a red-and-gold figure. Both a visible speaker and the seated figure face the group.
