Outdoor photograph of a large gathering on bare dry ground beneath a row of striped red, white and blue canopy tents and fabric awnings. Many men in white dhotis and white shirts stand and walk in loose groups, with a few in checked or dark shirts and some women in saris. Trees are visible behind the tents under an overcast sky. No speaker, throne or ritual activity is clearly visible, and no individual can be confidently identified as the a person.

A large outdoor gathering on a dry, grassy open ground at a rural ashram site. Many devotees, mostly men and women dressed in white kurtas, dhotis and white saris, stand and sit in crowds. Some women wear green, pink and grey saris, and a child in pink stands among them. Several people sit on the ground at left. Behind the crowd are long tented pavilions with red-and-white and blue striped awnings and banners, and tall trees and a cloudy sky fill the background. No individual can be clearly identified as the a person from this distance.

A large open dusty ground filled with crowds of devotees in white clothes, most men in white shirts and white dhotis and women in white or cream saris and salwar kameez. Striped red and white tented pavilions and canopies line the background, with a white building at right and trees beyond. Several women stand in the foreground, one in a white sari with a red-bordered blouse at right, another in a green-patterned sari at left. Children are scattered among the crowd, and a few people carry bags. The scene appears to be a large gathering or outdoor event at a ground near tents.
