A large outdoor assembly seated in white plastic chairs under a white tent with red-and-white striped poles and red and white draped valances. Hundreds of men fill the rows, mostly in white and pale shirts, with some in blue, striped and yellow shirts and a few in saffron-orange clothing. Several people sit with palms pressed together in namaste, others with arms folded or hands clasped, listening attentively. Loudspeaker towers stand at the sides.
