Outdoor photo of a large seated congregation on woven mats under a corrugated roof strung with colourful cloth banners and bunting. Many men in white dhotis and shirts sit in rows, some wearing yellow shoulder cords, others in checked shirts, a saffron-robed figure and a person in yellow at left. Palm trees and a thatched hut frame the scene. At the far end, a raised platform holds a white-clad figure seated before a red-and-white pillared shrine with a statue and tall lamp poles. Many people are visible, so the count is a range.
