A photograph of a festive stage decorated with white and red floral or patterned panels and a large golden ornate central canopy or throne-like structure, with painted multicoloured pillars at each side. Many people stand on and around the stage: women in white and cream sarees with gold borders and bright saffron, red and green saris, men in white dhotis and shirts, and a few figures in orange or saffron wraps. Devotees appear to be receiving or offering something near the centre of the stage while a cameraman with a video camera stands at right. A partly visible man in a white shirt and grey hair sits near the front left, and a woman in a red sari sits in the foreground. No figure in the scene is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance cues, so no candidate is marked.
