Night photograph of an outdoor stage under a white canopy, lit with teal and white lights, with a painted backdrop of a snow-capped mountain under a sunset sky. Many people in white and pastel clothing stand and mill on a blue carpeted floor in front of the stage, while a crowd of seated devotees, many with heads covered in white, pink, orange and grey shawls, sits in the foreground. A few women in saris and men in white kurtas and dhotis are prominent. Banners with blue and red panels hang at the stage edges. Visible people are numerous and mostly partly visible in the crowd, so the count is in the 100+ range; no one on stage is clearly identifiable as a specific individual by appearance.
