A large tented gathering where many devotees stand with palms pressed together in anjali mudra on colourful striped mats. Men wear white dhotis or cream kurtas, several bare-chested with rudraksha malas around their necks, and some wear dark trousers and a black shirt. Ornate diyas or lamps with coloured tassels hang from the tent ceiling, and spotlights light the scene. In the foreground a man in a white dhoti with a gold-bordered shawl holds a brass tray and a small name badge is visible on his shirt. Behind him, rows of participants in white and bare-chested devotees stand in silent prayer or satsang.
