Large outdoor tent event with a dense crowd of many hundreds seated in white plastic chairs, viewed from behind. Most attendees wear white shirts or checked and striped shirts, and many wear white headbands tied at the forehead. On a raised stage at the far left, a figure in orange and saffron robes sits on a white throne-like chair in front of a colourful circular mandala graphic, with a floral arrangement below. Other stage figures in white stand further back, and a rainbow-coloured banner hangs in the background. Speakers and tent poles frame the scene, with a red carpet at the front of the seating area.
