Night photograph of a large crowd of devotees gathered beneath a long thatched-roof shelter at an outdoor ashram event.

The ground is bare earth and a glass-topped table edge appears at the lower right. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person; no one stands out with distinctive ceremonial cues.
