Photograph from above of a large crowd of devotees seated in rows along a stone-walled embankment beside calm water. Most wear white clothing, with some in pink, lavender, peach and orange saris. Several men wear white shirts and white dhotis, and a few wear orange shawls. They sit quietly, facing the water, some with eyes closed in meditation. A black speaker stands at the left edge on the bank, and loose rubble stones lie on the slope at right. No individual can be identified with confidence as a person in this crowd view, so the figure is described only by role.
