A large outdoor night gathering of many seated devotees in dense rows on a field, most dressed in white shirts with dark rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, while others wear orange, saffron, striped or checked clothes and some wear head cloths or orange head scarves. Floodlights and a strip of festive string lights glow at the back. Near the centre, a bearded figure in a long orange-saffron robe sits among the crowd, distinguished by his long white beard and flowing saffron garment; this is an appearance-based candidate for a person, seated in the crowd and not on a throne, with the cues being the saffron robe and long beard, which is uncertain enough to set a person to unsure. Many people sit with eyes closed in meditation.
