Night outdoor gathering on a lawn with many people seated in rows on red-cushioned gold-framed chairs and on the grass. Most wear white clothing with red-and-white shawls or red sashes, and several have their hands raised or folded in prayer. A lit McDonald's sign and multi-storey buildings stand in the background, with small lit Christmas-style trees near a low wall and ground lamps. Many participants sit cross-legged facing toward the front, and a few figures stand at the edge of the lawn. No individual can be identified as a person with confidence from this view.
