A night-time outdoor public gathering on a large open ground. A long red carpet runs down the centre between two white cloth runners edged with fresh green banana leaves. Hundreds of seated attendees fill rows on both sides, many women in saris of green, pink, yellow and purple, and men in white shirts and dhotis. Several men in white clothing walk along the carpet in the middle distance. Strings of warm lights, illuminated palm trees, tall white lamp posts and a metal scaffold frame the scene against a dark sky and silhouetted hills.
