Outdoor satsang or ritual gathering under an open canopy strung with colourful triangular bunting, with a camera on a crane arm overhead. Several men in white dhotis and shawls with gold-edged borders and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces raise ritual items such as brass-tipped staffs or ceremonial objects in their hands. A bare-chested man in an orange-saffron dhoti stands near the center holding a small bell or cup. Seated women in white and orange saris, many with vibhuti or kumkum on their foreheads, fill long metal-topped tables and rows of chairs, and a banana leaf lies on one table. A cameraman in a green striped shirt with headphones works at the right. Roughly 20 or more people are visible.
