Night outdoor gathering of a large crowd of men seated on rows of chairs and on a paved walkway, lit by bright floodlights and strings of lights against dark trees. Most wear white shirts or white dhotis and checked or striped shirts. A man in the centre front wears a white shirt and a dark rudraksha-style mala necklace, hands clasped. Another man in a white shirt with green stripes sits beside him. Crowd members sit attentively facing the stage area out of frame, with a few hands folded in their laps.
