A large outdoor gathering under a red and white striped tent canopy decorated with floral medallions. Rows of saffron-robed monastics sit on blue folding chairs on a red carpet, many with shaved heads, and a harmonium and microphones stand at the front left. Seated in white kurtas and dhotis, devotees fill the crowd behind them, with more people seated on white plastic chairs in the background. A tree and a building with a tiled roof stand beyond the tent. No single person in the foreground is clearly identifiable as the a person, and his presence cannot be confirmed from appearance.
