Night-time outdoor gathering of a very large crowd, filling the foreground and midground, many wearing headphones for translation. Men and women sit or stand close together behind white barrier cloths. Strings of yellow flower garlands and small lights stretch across the top of the frame, with floodlights on poles at left. Two large banners on the stage area show portraits of a saffron-robed figure with long hair, one on a red-and-yellow banner and one on a white banner. Many people wear white, saffron and colourful saris and kurtas.
