Outdoor gathering on a muddy, puddled ground with a large crowd of white-clad devotees standing around a circular open area. Several blue plastic drums are arranged in a row near the centre, with a small fire pit or offering in front. A man in a white shirt stands at the edge of the circle facing the scene, and a cameraman in white films the activity. A stage with colourful canopy umbrellas and a tent sits behind, with a large banner and a bus at right. Many people wear white with blue or yellow accents and some carry staffs. Several people are visible in the foreground, and the crowd extends toward the back.
