A large outdoor gathering of seated devotees with palms pressed together in namaskar. Rows of people in white clothes sit on mats and chairs behind bamboo barriers, separated by a long red carpet that runs toward a stage. Some men wear white shirts and dhotis, women wear sarees in green, teal and orange, and a few people in the front row have white sacred ash marks on their foreheads. Smoke rises from the far end near a decorated stage with a backdrop, a large portrait banner in pink and white at the top left, and a tented shelter with bunting on the right. Several people in the middle row sit in meditative posture on the red carpet.
