A large outdoor gathering of seated devotees on a cream cloth floor in a courtyard beside a red-painted building. Many women in saffron-orange robes with pink borders sit cross-legged, and some younger girls wear red garments with gold trim and rudraksha malas; several hold open papers or booklets. Some shaved-headed monks in orange sit among them, and a cushioned orange chair and a striped mat sit at the right beside a framed picture, with a truck and cart in the background. Nobody is shown as a clear candidate for the speaker, and the scene appears to be a satsang listening session.
