Night outdoor evening discourse in Salem with a large crowd of men seated on white and red plastic chairs facing a stage. Many attendees wear white dhotis and white shirts; some wear light blue or grey shirts. A large illuminated screen on a tower displays a framed portrait of an elderly bearded man in white with a green banner beneath it. Floodlights and string lights light the tent-lined grounds, with red and white draped tents behind the stage. The image shows an audience watching a satsang discourse, though no physical speaker is clearly identifiable on stage.
