A two-panel collage of a covered pandal hall decorated with banana plants, green leaf garlands and tall striped cloth pillars with red, yellow and blue patterns. In the upper panel, rows of seated devotees in white and red fill the floor facing a distant shrine area. The lower panel shows a long aisle lined with seated devotees in white dhotis and saris, with pillars and a white wall with framed pictures at the side. The image is a graphic collage of two photographs, so no physical people are counted as subjects here beyond the seated crowd depicted.
