Night-time outdoor satsang under a open tent. A man seated on an ornate gilded golden throne with a tiger-striped cushion wears an orange-saffron robe and a garland of red flowers and green beads, with long swept-back hair; the appearance is consistent with the Swamiji (probable) candidate, seated in a position of honour and speaking to the gathering. Beside the throne a woman in an orange sari sits on the ground before a gold plate of offerings with a small lamp. Further along, a man in a cream shirt and white dhoti, an elderly woman in a green sari, and an older woman in a white sari sit facing the dais. A standing fan and string lights are behind; several people in white clothing move in the background.
