A large night-time outdoor gathering of seated devotees, mostly men, filling the foreground and midground in white shirts and white dhotis or trousers, with some in orange, beige and striped clothing. They face a brightly lit open stage at the upper left, draped with dark and pink curtains and backed by a painted mountain landscape with a sunrise sky. Plastic or cloth mats cover the ground, and a bamboo barrier runs along the back. A large screen glows at the upper right, and buildings are visible beyond the crowd.
