A crowded satsang in a tent with orange fabric walls and a green floor. Many people are seated on the floor in the foreground, mostly women wearing headscarves and saris in red, orange, pink, and blue, with bangles on their wrists. Standing devotees fill the background, including a man in a white dhoti and a few older men in sweaters and shawls. A woman in a white sari with a red border stands at the left. No figure in the scene can be confidently identified as a person, so the candidate status is unsure.
