A large outdoor gathering of devotees seated on red plastic chairs in rows, many with palms pressed together in namaste, some in eyes-closed meditation. Most men wear white shirts and white dhotis or trousers, some with rudraksha malas around their necks; women wear saris in pink, teal, blue and green. A lattice electricity pylon and a loudspeaker stand at left, mango-like trees in the foreground, and a rocky hillside with boulders and dense green foliage behind, where several people in white stand watching from the top. The crowd is too dense to count precisely, and no clearly identifiable a person figure is visible at the front.
