A seated group gathering in an open-sided hall with a corrugated metal roof and pale blue walls at night. On the left, a woman in a red blouse and orange wrap sits on a striped cushion, speaking toward the audience. In front of the group, a man in an orange robe sits cross-legged on a mat, with brass lamps and a small brass stand placed before him. Behind him, rows of people in white clothes with orange shawls sit with hands folded or raised in greeting, and a child in a yellow outfit sits at the right edge. A podium with a microphone stands near the left wall, and a framed picture hangs on the back wall. Lamps and the seated devotee arrangement suggest satsang or a discourse.
