Night photo of an outdoor gathering on a dark open ground lit by tall street lamps and a tree strung with small oil lamps on the left. A large crowd of devotees stands in rows, many in white and light traditional clothing, some in saris and checked garments. No identifiable a person figure is visible at this distance, so the appearance is uncertain. Lamp light and the glare of the street lights dominate the scene.
