Photograph of a very large outdoor evening audience seated on rows of blue plastic chairs facing a lit stage at the top of the frame. Dozens of people in the foreground, including men in white shirts and a woman in a green and orange sari with a long braid, face the stage, and the crowd extends into the background until it fills the frame. The stage is decorated with gold-trimmed red drapery, garlands and lamps, with a large screen beside it and stage lights overhead. The crowd is densely packed and numbers far beyond a few dozen people.
