A large night-time outdoor gathering seated in rows of white plastic chairs and on the ground, with a crowd of many hundreds of people facing a stage beyond the frame. Men wear white shirts, checked shirts and dhotis; women wear saris in teal, purple, yellow, orange and maroon. A woman in an orange sari with a red blouse rests her head on her hand while a young child in purple sleeps across her lap. Strings of white lights and palm trees line the open ground behind the audience, and a metal scaffold rises at the top of the frame.
