A large crowd of people gathers beneath a temporary canopy strung with yellow and pink marigold garlands and mango leaf festoons. Men in white shirts and women in bright saris, including a yellow-green sari and a blue sari, press forward, many with children held up or carried. In the background a red and white temple structure and draped red and orange decorations are visible. No individual can be clearly identified as the a person from appearance, so no candidate is marked.
