A large dim night gathering of many devotees seated closely in rows, mostly wearing white shirts and white dhotis. Several men wear white head cloths or turbans, and some wear saffron-orange shawls. Many raise their hands in prayer or devotion, and some hold their palms together. Strings of rudraksha-like beads and lanyard badges are visible on some chests. The audience fills the frame with no stage or speaker visible; the scene appears to be a satsang or discourse at night.
