A photograph of a large seated audience in an open-air or tiered auditorium at night. Many people in white ritual clothing sit on the steps with their arms raised high, palms open, in a gesture of devotion or attentive participation. A few wear dark or orange garments. Metal railings and stairs run along the upper left, and rows of empty seats extend into the background. No individual is clearly identifiable as the speaker; no person is confidently recognisable as a person in this crowd, so the presence of a person cannot be confirmed from appearance.
