A large outdoor gathering of seated devotees on bare ground under a long maroon and cream patterned canopy supported by metal poles. Most people wear white clothing, with some women in saris of blue, green, yellow and red. Many sit with palms pressed together in namaskar, and a woman at right in a white printed top and rudraksha mala holds her hands folded. Banana plants and a clear pale sky appear behind the tent, and a wooden rail runs across the foreground. No single figure on the stage is clearly visible enough to identify as a candidate.2010-01-01July 21 20052005-07-212001 - KAILASA in Tiruchengode (activities yet to be dated)Photo 11731444 +1 copiesPhoto 116828062006 - Kailasa India Sangha ActivitiesJune 16 20132013-06-16A crowded outdoor gathering under a long white tent supported by orange-painted pillars, with a row of red plastic chairs in the foreground.
