Wide outdoor photograph taken at dusk under a pale blue sky with pink-tinged clouds. A crowd of people stands behind a low grey concrete wall in the lower foreground, many holding up colourful umbrellas in orange, blue, green and red. Dry hills and tree silhouettes fill the horizon, and a metal-roofed structure with railings sits at the right edge. The image shows a large gathering assembled outdoors in the evening, with no visible deity murti, lamps, or a person candidate in the frame.
