Large outdoor evening gathering under a white tent with blue and yellow draped bunting and stage lights overhead. Hundreds of people sit closely packed on the ground in rows, most women in white saris with coloured borders and many men bare-chested in white dhotis, several with rudraksha or beaded necklaces. Some sit with palms pressed together in prayer, others with eyes closed, and a few hold small bags or bundles. A tall speaker stands at left and a stage with cameras is visible at the back. No speaker or a person candidate is clearly identifiable in the frame.
