A large outdoor gathering of devotees sits on sandy ground beneath a massive banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. Many seated people wear white clothes and white head bands, with some in saffron, pink, yellow and striped garments. They face a shrine-like structure at left, decorated with a red-draped platform, a saffron cloth and a garland, where several white-clad figures stand. Devotees are kneeling and sitting in rows, and a camera on a tripod is set up near the center. The setting suggests a satsang or puja under the tree.
