Evening gathering under a open-sided tent with a bamboo frame and a green netted canopy strung with small coloured pennant flags. A woman in an orange sari with a beaded necklace sits cross-legged on a white cushion before a red diamond-lattice backdrop, flanked by potted plants, speaking to a seated audience. Most listeners sit on white cloths and mats wearing white clothes, some with long braids, and others sit on dark plastic chairs at the right. Behind them, men in white dhotis and shirts stand near a small table with equipment, and a man in saffron-orange robes stands at the far right. Bright white lights are mounted on poles.
