A large crowd of devotees sits cross-legged on a concrete floor under a pavilion tent decorated with tall cylindrical yellow and multicoloured banners and strings of triangular bunting. Most women wear white saris and white garments, while others wear orange, red, pink and green saris and salwar, and a few children sit in front in orange and yellow outfits. On the right edge, a standing man in white clothing with an orange shawl gestures toward the assembly, apparently addressing it. Stage lights, speakers and metal scaffolding are visible at the left.
