Night outdoor satsang photographed from behind a rapt audience of many seated devotees, with a camera rig and tripod at the left edge. Under dark trees and strung vines, a figure seated on an ornate golden throne-like seat faces the crowd; he wears orange and saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, with long dark hair. Behind him stands an arched silver-framed niche with teal drapery holding a decorated deity murti garlanded with flowers. Two standing attendants in white dhoti-style cloth flank the scene at left, and one devotee in the foreground wears a white shawl. Many attendees wear colourful saris and kurtas, some with long braids, and a few in the crowd raise hands in prayer.
