A very large night gathering of devotees seated on red plastic chairs and ground in a open-air venue, packed tightly under bright stadium floodlights. Most attendees wear white ritual clothing, while others wear saffron-orange shawls and garlands, and several wear over-ear headphones for audio. Bamboo barriers divide the crowd rows. In the background, a decorated stage with red and gold banners and lit garlands is visible. The crowd extends far beyond the frame, so the count is well over one hundred.
