Large outdoor satsang crowd seated on red plastic chairs facing a raised green-and-white stage under a canopy. On the stage, several figures in orange and saffron robes sit near floral arrangements, with a red and orange banner overhead. Behind the stage stands a white temple-style structure. Most of the crowd wears white dhotis and white shirts or saris, with some in colourful sarees. Festival bunting and flags hang above, and roadside shops with signage line the right side under a clear blue sky. The scene is an outdoor event rather than a ritual performed by a single identified person.
