A large outdoor evening gathering of seated devotees on plastic chairs facing a stage at night, lit by tall white floodlights on poles. Many men wear white shirts and dhotis or light trousers; some wear dark or patterned shirts, and one man in the foreground has a white beard. Tall black speaker boxes stand at the left edge. Behind the crowd, rows of saffron-orange banners and flags line the grounds under trees. Two white projection or display screens are visible above the audience. A standing man in a brown shirt walks through the aisle near the centre. No clearly identifiable a person is visible in this view, so no appearance-based candidate is claimed.
