A large outdoor gathering of seated devotees on a sloped dirt embankment under a red-and-white striped canopy, with bamboo railings dividing the rows. Most people wear white clothes and sit on the ground, with a few in orange or saffron garments and some in green or red shirts. Rows of shoes line the lower edge of the slope. Banana plants and trees stand beyond the crowd under a pale sky. The crowd is dense and extends far into the distance, with many more people than can be individually counted.
