A photograph of a large outdoor tent gathering seated on red carpet, with many devotees in white and cream clothing and some wearing saffron or orange sashes, viewed from behind. Two large screens on either side show a speaker at a lectern, and a central stage has a golden throne-like seat with red drapery and a framed portrait of a seated saint. Several bottles of water sit on the floor among the audience. A white-clad figure stands on the stage near the portrait. No figure on the stage clearly shows the distinctive appearance cues needed to identify the person, so the stage figures are described by role only.
