Outdoor photo at dusk of a large crowd of mostly white-clad devotees gathered on a dirt ground facing a figure in an orange-brown robe standing near a low white-railed platform. Many attendees wear white tops and pants, some in saris and salwar kameez in red, teal and yellow. Palm trees, a low building and a pale sky sit behind. Some people in the foreground hold up phones or cameras. No visible physical candidate can be confidently identified as a person from appearance alone, so the central robed figure is described only by role.

A woman in a long orange robe stands prominently at left-center with her back partly turned, and a man in a yellow shirt stands near center. Others wear caps, jackets and jeans.
