A night-time outdoor gathering at a bonfire on open ground. A large crowd sits on the ground and in white plastic chairs around a blazing fire pit, facing a standing figure in an orange-saffron robe on the right who appears to be addressing them. A bright floodlight glows in the background above a metal scaffold structure, and a few other white-clad people stand further back near the lit area. A white bonfire-side table is visible, and the figures in the crowd wear mixed colours including red, white and orange clothing.
