A large outdoor crowd seated in rows of white plastic chairs on sandy ground, attending an open-air gathering. Most people wear white dhotis and sarees with orange or saffron borders, and many wear rudraksha or beaded malas. Women in red, pink, yellow and green saris are scattered through the rows, and a few men sit bare-chested in orange cloth. Behind them stand stage structures, blue and green canopies, a thatched shelter and banners. No individual leader is clearly identifiable in the frame.
