Night outdoor gathering of a large crowd of devotees standing and seated in rows, facing toward an unseen stage lit by a floodlight on a tall metal tower at the upper left. A man in front wears a white shirt, white dhoti and a beaded rudraksha-style mala, with hands at his sides. Women in saris, including a green-and-white sari and a red sari, stand with eyes closed, and men in yellow and white shirts stand among them. White plastic chairs fill the foreground, and a metal barrier runs along the right. The scene suggests a meditation or satsang session in progress.
