Outdoor gathering on a concrete courtyard under a pale sky, with a tall wooden staff topped by a white finial and a potted tree in the foreground. A figure in an orange-red robe sits cross-legged on a leopard-print seat with a tiger-skin-like pattern and an orange cloth, raising one hand toward the crowd; the figure wears a rudraksha mala and appears to be a person by ornaments and robe, though the face is not visible enough to confirm. Around them, a large crowd in white clothing with red-and-white lanyards and beaded malas holds up cameras, phones and tablets, with a man in a patterned beige kurta and orange-brown cloth at centre and a woman in a turquoise top crouching. Red and white flags flutter in the background beside a small roofed structure.
