A dense outdoor crowd of men and women in white and coloured clothes fills a large open pavilion with metal scaffolding. A tall figure with a bare upper body and a painted forehead mark stands near the centre, appearing bare-chested with a white shawl-like wrap, while another man in orange headwear is visible at the upper left. A decorated umbrella with a red and green canopy rises above the people at the top. Most attendees are seated or standing in close packing, many with folded hands, and the scene reads as a large public gathering.
