A large nighttime outdoor gathering of women seated closely together on the ground, facing forward toward a bright floodlight on the left. Most wear sarees and shawls in varied colours: magenta and purple head scarves, orange and saffron wraps, blue and turquoise head coverings, cream and gold shawls, and green and maroon sarees. Many wear glasses and look attentively ahead. Saffron flags on poles and tall trees frame the open ground, and a tented stage canopy stands at the right edge. The crowd fills the frame and extends to the back, with many more seated people visible behind.
