Night-time outdoor gathering under a tarpaulin canopy strung with multicoloured bunting. A large banner behind shows Tamil text, a portrait of a bearded man with long hair, and a deity image in red and gold. A woman in an orange sari sits cross-legged at the right on a raised platform beside a microphone and potted plants, addressing the assembly. Seated men in white shirts and dhotis, and some in patterned shirts, face her on red carpet and plastic chairs. A cameraman in white stands at left filming, and two men stand near the back. Several people are seated in the foreground.
