A night-time outdoor gathering on a green-matted ground with a very large crowd of people seated in rows of orange, brown and blue plastic chairs, facing a stage area at the far end. Most attendees wear white clothing. Two men in white dhotis sit near the front row, one with a green badge. Floodlights on tall poles light the scene, and strings of small lights and banners line the background. Several large framed portraits hang on the right and left, showing a bearded man, though the portraits are printed images rather than physical people and their subject cannot be confirmed from appearance. Barricades of white cloth divide the walkways, and a standing man in white stands on a red-carpeted platform at the left.
