Outdoor evening satsang at night with a group of young men in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas, sitting on mats in front of a low yellow-decorated platform. Their foreheads and arms bear white ash stripes and white vibhuti marks. A standing young man in orange holds a microphone and speaks with hands joined, while a fellow robed devotee stands at the right. Seated devotees in white and a few in orange sit in chairs and on the ground in the background. A brass tray or plate sits near the front-right, and a yellow-draped offering table is visible at the right edge.

Three of the boys, in the foreground, have white ash bands on their foreheads and arms, wear beaded necklaces, and have hands folded in their laps; the nearest boy gazes upward. A fourth, older-looking figure at the right holds open a book with yellow covers and reads or chants.
