A photograph inside a large white tented pavilion at night, lit by strings of overhead fluorescent tubes and spotlights. Long red carpet runners with a green carpet strip down the centre run the length of the hall, and a yellow and green fringed drape hangs from the tent ceiling. Dozens of men stand in rows along both sides, many in white shirts and white dhotis, others in striped shirts and trousers. Several standing men in the centre wear white, and a few women in saris stand at the right edge. Some attendees hold small objects in their hands. The scene suggests an orderly gathering or session in progress, with the aisle left clear.
