A crowded outdoor pavilion draped with blue, white and purple striped fabric and a multicoloured canopy edge. Two women stand near the back wall, one in a white sari with an orange shawl and the other in plain white with a long braid. Seated rows of men and women fill the foreground on red and blue plastic chairs and benches, many in white dhotis and kurtas, with some in orange and pink saris. A man in the foreground wears a white shirt and a visible orange cloth. No one clearly fits the appearance cues for a person, so the figures are described by role and dress only.
