Night photograph of a large outdoor satsang at an ashram. Hundreds of devotees in white clothes sit cross-legged on the ground in rows, facing a lit stage under a metal-roofed canopy with bright white floodlights. A long dark red carpet runs down the centre aisle between metal barriers toward the stage. Palm trees are silhouetted against the dark sky. A few people in white stand at the edges. A figure in an orange shawl sits among the devotees on the right, but no clear identification is possible from appearance alone.
