A large outdoor gathering of men seated on rows of folding chairs along a tree-lined paved path, stretching toward the horizon. Most wear white shirts and dhotis or light trousers, with some in checked and pastel shirts. Many faces are turned forward toward an unseen speaker or stage, and a black loudspeaker stands on a stand at right beside a low white building and a manicured hedge. Tall trees line both sides under a pale sky. Crowd is large, dense rows of seated attendees.
