Night outdoor public darshan session with a very large crowd seated on red and blue plastic chairs facing a stage out of frame. Spectators fill the foreground and middle ground, many looking toward the stage; a woman in a yellow and red sari sits at right. Bright white floodlights and string lights line the open ground, with a large illuminated green-and-red banner showing two portrait photographs at left and buildings and palm trees behind. The people visible are numerous and rows extend beyond the frame, so the crowd is well over a hundred people.
