A photograph taken outdoors beside a stone-lined water channel, shown rotated sideways. Dozens of seated people in white and pastel clothing fill the foreground, many with long dark braids, some wearing saffron, pink, yellow and red garments. A man in a saffron-orange robe with a beaded mala sits cross-legged on a striped mat at the right edge, holding a microphone on a stand and addressing the gathering. Several attendees hold paper sheets. The crowd sits on the ground along the stone steps by the water, and the setting appears to be a satsang or discourse session.
