Wide photo of a large stepped amphitheatre with red-painted tiers and a long stone wall behind, under a clear blue sky. Hundreds of seated devotees fill the steps, many in white dhotis and kurtas, others in saffron, red and colourful saris and salwar. Many sit cross-legged with small brass or bronze vessels before them. A reflecting pool runs along the bottom edge, and red flags line the upper right. The scene is a mass gathering for a satsang-style programme, with no clearly identifiable individual a person visible.

Most wear white or light dhotis and sarees, with bright saris in pink, orange, green and blue scattered throughout. Many sit before small brass oil lamps arranged on each step. Several attendants in white dhotis move along the steps and stand near a wall with red-and-yellow flags. A cameraman with a tripod stands at the upper right. The crowd is too large for an exact count, so it is recorded as a large group.2016-12-03December 17 20162016-12-17December 17 20162016-12-17December 05 20162016-12-05December 03 20162016-12-03May 29 20172017-05-29Wide outdoor photo of a large ritual gathering in tiered stone steps beside a water tank.
