Night photo of a satsang or puja at an outdoor temple-style stage. Dozens of devotees sit on the ground in front of a lit deity murti or illuminated image backdrop framed by gold-tinted arches and an orange curtain. Bright stage lights flank the scene, and a camera on a tripod records it. Many seated devotees wear white, orange and saffron clothes; one bare-headed figure in orange sits near the front. Standing attendants in white with garlands frame the stage on both sides, and a red carpet runs across the floor.
