Outdoor photo of a large crowd of devotees seated on a paved brick floor in front of a red brick wall, most in white shirts and white dhotis with rudraksha malas and ID badges. A man in the front row wears a white shirt with a rudraksha mala and sits with hands clasped; a man beside him wears a light blue shirt. Behind them, women in white saris and saffron-orange shawls stand, and a man in white dhoti stands at left near a wooden pole. No single figure can be confidently identified as a person.

A large outdoor gathering of seated devotees on a pale stone-paved courtyard in front of red-painted buildings. Most people wear white dhotis and white shirts, and many men are bare-chested with tilak marks on their foreheads and rudraksha-style necklaces. A few people wear orange or saffron cloth, and one woman in a white sari sits with a child on her lap. Many participants sit cross-legged with hands folded or resting on their knees, appearing to meditate or listen. Others in white move about in the background, and a few orange cushions lie on the stones. Several people wear name badges on their clothing. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person, so no such candidate is marked.

Most adults wear white shirts and white dhotis, with rudraksha malas around their necks, while several boys wear casual shirts and shorts; some have name badges pinned to their clothes. A man in white stands far left on a dirt path and another figure in white stands behind the group at the wall. Greenery and a wooden pillar frame the right side. The attendees appear to be listening quietly with eyes closed or lowered.

Many wear white shirts and white dhoti-style cloth, while others wear blue jeans, striped shirts, or orange-brown shirts. Several wear lanyards around their necks. Behind them is an orange wall with a white base painted with red vertical stripes, green shrubs, and a loudspeaker on a stand. A pile of grey ash lies on the ground at the left edge, near the seated group. A single standing figure in white with a beard and a white garment is at the upper right beside the wall.

Plastic white chairs are stacked along the back of the hall.
