Many devotees sit on the grass and in chairs, mostly women and men dressed in white or cream kurtas and tunics with rust-orange shawls draped over their shoulders. Several wear rudraksha or bead malas and bangles. Some wear glasses, and a few have grey or white hair. Warm string lights glow in the lower right corner. The camera is focused on the front rows, and no speaker or a person candidate is clearly visible in the frame, so no identity claim is made.
