Night-time gathering of a large seated audience at an outdoor satsang. Many men sit bare-chested wearing white sacred threads and white vibhuti or tilak marks on their foreheads and arms, some with rudraksha or beaded necklaces. Women in white saris with red or orange bindi and vibhuti sit in the foreground, one wearing white with a bald head, another with glasses and a gold necklace. Several people wear identification lanyards. The background shows dark trees, a wooden pole, and a few standing onlookers in white shirts. No speaker or dais is clearly visible in the frame.
