A large outdoor crowd stands packed behind a line of bamboo poles at an event held among tall coconut palms. Many men wear white shirts and white dhotis, some with lanyards around their necks, while others wear checked shirts or blue shirts; several women in saris and salwar kameez stand among them, and a few children are visible. Orange-saffron pennants on thin poles rise above the crowd, and a floodlight stands at the right edge against a pale sky.
