Night outdoor event under a yellow-and-orange canopy hung with green banana stalks and bunches of coconuts. A large crowd of men and women stands in front of a raised dais, many in white or light clothing. On the dais, a figure in an orange turban and orange-gold robe with a beaded garland receives an offering from a woman in a teal sari, who holds up a small packet or envelope. Flower garlands and fruit sit in front of the stage. Two men in white dhotis with red shawls stand at the right edge of the platform, and a lamp-lit tent and floodlights frame the scene. Several people are visible in the crowd, and more can be seen on the far left. Both the figure on the dais and the people on stage are visible in person.
