Night crowd at an outdoor festival ground under a white tent canopy with red and gold draping and string lights. Dozens of people mill across green matting: men in white kurtas and shirts, women in saris and salwar kameez in red, orange and purple, children in red and blue. Behind them stand gilded ornamental structures, a golden seated figure on a pedestal and a bright stage light on a scaffold. Ornate golden palanquin-style shrines frame the scene.
