Night outdoor gathering under large banyan-type trees where a large crowd of seated devotees, mostly men in white clothes, sits on mats and cloth facing a central figure standing near a small raised platform with a microphone stand and a tall lamp. Many participants wear white or orange headbands and orange-coloured cloth. A red-draped altar or structure with garlands and flower decorations stands at the left, and dangling aerial roots hang from the branches. A bright spotlight beams down through the trees, and a few people stand near the back.
