A crowded outdoor satsang under an orange tent at a Hindu gathering. A standing man in white dhoti and shawl, with sandalwood tilak on his forehead and rudraksha mala, stands at centre. Behind him a large banner shows many framed photographs of deity murtis and temple shrines, with printed text in the upper area. Seated devotees fill the foreground and middle ground: many men in turbans, knit caps, shawls and orange or saffron garments. A man in maroon tracksuit stands to the left beside a steel vessel, and a woman in white with rudraksha mala stands at far left. Some men are wearing rudraksha malas and vibhuti marks.
