A large night crowd seated on white plastic chairs under strings of lights and bunting, mostly women in cotton and silk saris in pink, purple, green and orange. Front-row women sit with palms pressed together in namaste, and several children are mixed among them. Light posts and strings of coloured lights glow above, and a dense audience fills the frame. No speaker or dais is clearly visible, so the focus is the seated devotees.
