A large outdoor gathering of seated devotees in orange shawls on a stone terrace beside a fast-flowing river. A central figure sits cross-legged on a raised golden throne-like seat draped in a red carpet, under a colourful umbrella with a multicolour fringed canopy, speaking into a microphone. Her long dark hair falls loose and she wears an orange robe with a rudraksha mala. Two ceremonial trident-like staffs and a yellow-and-orange flag stand against the white wall behind her. To the left a man in a white shirt and orange scarf holds a camera, and a stack of printed booklets sits on a red chair. Many participants wear orange shawls, some with white clothing, and several have long braided hair. A few people sit near the water on the right, and a potted plant is visible at the edge.
