A large outdoor crowd fills the foreground, mostly women and girls seated on the ground in white and cream saris, some with yellow, pink, green and orange garments mixed in among them. Many people in the rear wear white dhotis and shirts. Tall palm trees, strings of saffron and orange flags, and lamp posts line the open ground behind the gathering, under a hazy sky. A uniformed official stands at the right edge, and a standing woman in a cream sari with flowers in her hair is visible at right. Black speaker boxes sit at the front of the stage area.
