A large outdoor crowd gathers on sandy ground at a festival stage, with tall palm trees behind. Most attendees wear white or cream clothing, and many women wear white saris with coloured borders. Some stand in front while others sit closely packed in rows. Several tall banners with saffron-robed portraits and printed text hang from poles at left and centre. Speakers and a decorated golden vehicle or palanquin appear near the stage in the background, with bunting strung across the grounds.
