A large night-time outdoor gathering of devotees seated on rows of blue plastic chairs across an open ground, facing a lit stage at the far end. Many hundreds of people fill the foreground and midground, mostly in white, cream, and colourful saris and salwar. A large framed image of a seated figure with long hair is lit on the right side of the stage area, and smaller screens flank the stage. Bright floodlights and tall trees surround the venue under a dark sky. Several people stand in the aisles at the right. The crowd is too dense to count individually.
