Evening outdoor gathering in front of a tall dark stone temple wall with a gopuram visible at top. A large crowd of devotees sits on the ground in rows, many women in white with orange borders and men in white and orange. In the centre, a man in orange robes sits cross-legged on a mat before a microphone, hands pressed together in namaste, with a woman in orange seated nearby. Behind them is a bamboo and palm-frond shelter with a yellow-and-red decorated stage. A pillar at right is draped with a white and pink flower garland. The scene appears to be a satsang or discourse at dusk.
