A large outdoor crowd sits and stands in rows behind a bamboo barrier at an open ground lined with coconut palms and orange flags on poles. Many attendees wear white dhotis and white shirts, while women wear saris in orange, red and gold. A black loudspeaker stands at the barrier, and floodlight poles and overhead power lines run across the background. Most people sit on white plastic chairs or on the ground in the foreground, watching toward the stage area out of frame. The people count is high, well above one hundred.
