A large crowd of women sits on white plastic chairs and on the floor under a decorated red and gold canopy at an outdoor tent event. Many wear white, pink, blue and teal saris and salwar kameez, and several have hair in long braids or adorned with white flowers. At the front, a man in white stands near a banner showing a woman with a crown-like headpiece, and a small figure in white and orange is visible near the centre. Red and white striped drapes line the sides of the tent, and a blue sign and a lit area with smoke appear to the left. A printed banner reads a Sanskrit-style event title and date.
