Night photograph of a long crowd queue on a green-matted outdoor ground under string lights and floodlights. Many devotees, mostly families with children, stand in a winding line behind metal barriers. Men in white dhotis with red sashes and white caps, and volunteers in white kurtas with red stoles, guide the line. Women wear colourful saris and salwar kameezes, and a man in a yellow shirt stands near parked silver SUVs. A stall with red-and-blue lights and decorations sits at the right edge.
