A large outdoor gathering seated under a white canopy with red-and-white striped poles and red and white draped valances. Dense rows of men fill the foreground and midground, most in white shirts and white trousers, some wearing rudraksha-style beaded malas around their necks. A few wear blue, striped or yellow shirts, and one younger person in an orange-and-red garment sits in front. Many participants have their palms pressed together in anjali or hands raised in devotion. A loudspeaker stands at the right edge, and the crowd extends into the open field beyond the tent.
