A large, cheerful crowd fills a courtyard lined with a long pink-and-cream temple colonnade with carved stone pillars and palm trees beyond. Many people in white dhotis and saffron-and-white or yellow-bordered garments raise their hands and smile, some seated on the ground. A cameraman in a white shirt films with a Sony camera on the right, and a bald man in white is at the lower right. The crowd is large, but only a subset of faces is clearly visible.
