A photograph of a large group of devotees gathered on the open upper deck of a cruise ship at dusk, seated and reclining on blue-grey deck lounge chairs. Most wear white clothing with orange or saffron shawls and sashes; several women wear orange-red wraps. Some sit cross-legged on the deck, others lie back on the loungers, and a few stand near the railing. A white mast with antennae rises at centre, a white radar dome sits to the left, and an orange parasol is open near the left edge. Backpacks and folded clothes lie on the deck. The sea and pale sky stretch behind the ship's curved glass windscreen. No clearly identifiable speaker stands out at the front, so the presence of a person candidate is uncertain.
