Night photograph of a large outdoor gathering of devotees seated on rows of white plastic chairs facing a stage lit by bright overhead floodlights. Most attendees wear white clothes; women wear saris in red, orange, pink and green, and some have head coverings. A white cloth covers the barrier in front of the front row, and string lights with small hanging decorations stretch across the top of the scene. Several banners and printed posters line the edge of the grounds. Many people raise hands or fold them in greeting. The crowd fills the frame, and numerous attendees appear to be elderly.
