A large audience sits seated on blue plastic chairs in a wide open venue at dusk or night, viewed from behind and above. Rows of men dressed mostly in white shirts and dhotis or trousers fill the frame, with a few in pale blue, pink and checked shirts. A man in a red cap sits near the centre, and a man in a white head wrap sits at left. A few women wear headscarves and a figure at right wears saffron-orange clothing. Some attendees lean forward, and a purple banner is visible at upper left. The crowd is large and dense, extending to the far background, so the count is in the hundreds.
