Evening outdoor satsang under a open-sided corrugated roof strung with colourful hanging tassels and triangular bunting. A large crowd of devotees, mostly men in white dhotis and shirts, sits on mats and benches in rows facing a raised dais at the far right. Some attendees wear saffron-orange robes in the foreground. Green plants and flowering purple blooms line a garden bed at the left edge, with palm trees silhouetted against dusk sky. A small illuminated screen stands near the stage, and a figure in white stands at the dais with a decorated altar and deity murti nearby.
