Outdoor gathering of devotees in white clothing seated on woven mats beneath a large spreading banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. Many men wear white kurtas and dhotis with rudraksha malas around their necks; some stand at the back with hands folded. A bearded elderly man in a white kurta and dhoti stands at the far right with palms pressed together in namaskar, and a young boy sits in front. The setting is green and shaded. No one in the scene is identifiable as a person from appearance cues, so no candidate is named.
