Night-time outdoor gathering on bare ground with a very large crowd of devotees, mostly in white traditional clothes, with some in saffron and orange saris and a few in khaki or beige. Red plastic chairs are scattered among them, and a red carpet runs across the foreground. Bright floodlights on tall poles light the scene. In the background a decorated stage or float with an ornate structure and a lit archway hang with garlands and lights. A few individuals stand out, including a man in white on the right holding a stick and a man in a beige kurta near the centre. Many people are standing and facing the stage, possibly awaiting darshan.
