Night-time outdoor gathering at a large open-air venue. Rows of yellow plastic chairs fill the foreground, with four large red upholstered armchairs placed on a blue stage platform in front of the audience. Many devotees, mostly in white clothing, sit attentively facing a distant stage lit by floodlights, with a red and orange draped canopy and a banner visible at the back. Bright floodlights and a few overhead lamps light the scene, and faint bokeh-like light spots appear across the dark sky.
