Many wear white shirts and dhotis, some in blue, striped or checked shirts, and a few wear eyeglasses. Bright floodlights on tall poles light the open ground, and a white building on the right is decorated with strings of lights. Rows of orange and white pennants line the field, and a white projection screen stands in the background. A small banner is visible near the left edge. The crowd is attentive, facing the stage area off-frame.
