A large outdoor gathering of devotees seated on red mats under a white tent canopy, with strings of lights and orange pennants overhead. Most men wear white dhotis and white shirts or bare chests, several with rudraksha or white beaded malas and orange kumkum-coloured marks on the chest. Some sit cross-legged with hands folded, others hold small items, and a few wear white ID cards on their clothing. A plate of green fruit sits among them in the foreground. No single figure stands out as a clearly identifiable central speaker; the view is a dense sea of seated attendees, roughly in the crowd range of several hundred visible people. A watermarked-style caption in the lower right is omitted from the description.
