Night-time outdoor gathering of a very large crowd on an open ground lit by bright floodlights, with a blue-carpeted area toward the back. Most people wear white garments, with women in white saris bordered in yellow, orange or red and some in pink or lavender. Men in white shirts and dhotis stand among them. In the middle distance, a few figures in saffron and orange robes stand near a raised platform with floral arrangements. Strings of small lights and a tall decorated pillar with floral and bird motifs frame the left side. Women in the foreground, some with long braids and gold ornaments, face the stage area. The scene suggests a large ritual assembly.
