A night-time outdoor event crowd queues along a metal barrier in front of a white and orange canopy tent with bright floodlights. In the foreground, a man in a white shirt and a woman in a yellow-orange sari stand near the barrier. A man in a white shirt with a gold chain and a woman in white with a yellow border and beaded necklace stand behind a folding table with printed materials, apparently staffing a registration or information desk. Many more people in white and light clothing fill the background under the lights. The visible crowd is large, but only a subset is clearly distinct, so the count is given as a range.
