A large outdoor crowd of many hundreds sits on white plastic chairs behind bamboo barrier rails at an open-air event ground. Most men wear white shirts and white dhotis, while others wear orange, saffron-coloured shawls and yellow, maroon and blue clothing. A visible orange cap is on the left and several women in blue and pink saris sit in the middle rows. Behind them stands an orange-brick hall with a corrugated roof, floodlight towers, banana trees, and tall strings of festive bunting. The crowd is seated facing the stage at the same event. No individual in the scene is clearly identifiable as a person.
