A large outdoor gathering of seated devotees on a pale stone-paved courtyard in front of red-painted buildings. Most people wear white dhotis and white shirts, and many men are bare-chested with tilak marks on their foreheads and rudraksha-style necklaces. A few people wear orange or saffron cloth, and one woman in a white sari sits with a child on her lap. Many participants sit cross-legged with hands folded or resting on their knees, appearing to meditate or listen. Others in white move about in the background, and a few orange cushions lie on the stones. Several people wear name badges on their clothing. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person, so no such candidate is marked.
