Night photograph of an open dirt ground where a long queue of people stands in lines facing a lit stage tower. The tower is wrapped in strings of multicoloured lights and floodlights on top. Many men wear white shirts and white dhotis, while others wear shirts and trousers; a few women in white saris and salwar-style dress stand among them, and small children are visible in the line. Parked buses and a trailer sit at the right edge, with trees and a low arched gateway in the background. Outside the crowd lines the ground is empty.
