A large outdoor crowd of devotees, mostly dressed in white, fills rows of red plastic chairs and open ground at a public gathering. Many wear white kurtas and sarees, and several women wear yellow and orange shawls; some seated people wear headphones. In the foreground a wooden rail divides the audience from a wooden table holding a flat-screen monitor showing a devotional image of a figure adorned with garlands, a laptop, and a video camera on a tripod at left. Behind the crowd are green and blue tarpaulins, bamboo scaffolding and a banner with a portrait. Trees and a small building sit in the background. The scene is a crowd of people, not a single identifiable speaker on stage.
