A night-time outdoor gathering under a canopy of bamboo poles and a tarp strung with colourful pennants. A woman in an orange sari and a rudraksha-style necklace sits on a white cushioned seat in front of a red and gold diamond-patterned backdrop, holding a book, with potted plants beside her. Dozens of seated attendees in white clothing face her on mats and plastic chairs, including a woman with long braids in an orange garment at the front left. Two men in white stand near a table at the back, and bright work lights are mounted on the poles. The scene looks like a satsang or discourse under a temporary tent.
