A large night-time outdoor gathering at a satsang event. Rows of seated devotees, mostly women in saris and salwar in yellow, blue, white, orange and pink, fill the foreground, with a large crowd stretching back into the distance. A tall banner on the left shows a portrait of a man in an orange turban and a Tamil poster with a blue frame. Strings of bunting cross above, with bright stage lights and palm trees around the venue. On the right stands a large illuminated figure of a deity in red and gold, and a backdrop portrait shows a bearded man in a white turban beside a stage. White barriers and bamboo rails separate the seating area from the walkway.
