A large crowd of people dressed mostly in white sits on white plastic chairs under a canopy of patterned fabric supported by bamboo poles, facing a raised stage draped with pink curtains. On stage, four people sit in a row: three wear orange-saffron robes and one wears white with an orange shawl; a person in the centre holds a microphone. A speaker stands at the right edge of the stage. Behind the stage, a light fabric hangs with the tent's red and pink draping. The scene resembles a seated discourse or satsang gathering.
