A photograph of a large outdoor gathering on an unpaved dirt ground beneath a bright sky. Dense crowds of devotees mill about, most dressed in white, including white dhotis, shirts and sarees, with some women in colourful saris of orange, teal and blue. Banana plants with broad green leaves line the area, and a red-carpeted stage edge is visible at left. Behind the crowd are unfinished concrete buildings, a long shed roof, a white van and a billboard at right. The crowd is too dense and distant for an exact count, and no individual is clearly identifiable as a person.
