A night-time outdoor photograph of a small group seated on dry grass beneath a large tree. On the left, a figure with long dark hair in a saffron/orange robe sits on a folding chair facing the group, with bare feet and a saffron shawl; this is an appearance-based Swamiji (probable) candidate in a teaching role. Around him, roughly a dozen devotees sit cross-legged or kneel in white dhotis and white kurtas or saris, many wearing saffron shawls and white beaded necklaces. A woman in a white sari and another in a saffron shawl sit at right, and a person in white stands at the far left edge. An orange woven basket sits on the grass in the foreground. The scene suggests a satsang or evening discourse held outdoors.
