A courtyard gathering beneath a large tent canopy with multicoloured bunting in red, green, yellow, blue and orange. Many men and women in white dhotis, saris and kurtas wear saffron-orange shawls over their shoulders. Some stand in conversation while others sit on white plastic chairs near steel vessels and buckets, apparently serving or receiving food. A white multi-storey building with arched balconies and strings of small lights forms the backdrop. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible in this crowd.
