Night gathering of a large seated crowd beneath a massive banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. Many people sit cross-legged on the ground wearing white and cream clothing, with some in pale green, teal and beige. A few figures in white stand near the trunk, and a speaker or PA box sits at the right edge. The scene is dimly lit, with light falling on the tree canopy and foreground heads. The gathering appears to be a seated outdoor session under the banyan.
