A large night-time outdoor gathering of seated devotees fills the frame, packed densely across an open ground lit by tall floodlights and strings of lights along the edges. Most attendees wear white shirts and white clothing, many with lanyards, while others wear saffron, orange, yellow and blue garments and some women wear headscarves or saris. A figure in an orange-saffron robe sits near the centre-right among the crowd. Rows of bamboo barriers and a lit stage structure with lamps appear in the background.
