Night view of a long open-sided pavilion at an outdoor camp, with orange canvas awnings strung with small lights along white-painted poles and pink-washed side walls. People in orange robes and white clothing walk down the central dirt path, and seated devotees sit on mats under the awnings. A distant pink illuminated tent or structure glows at the far end of the path, beneath a bright floodlight on the right. A tall flagpole with an orange flag stands in the background. Several motorcycles are parked at the right edge.
