Night photograph of a large open ground at a festival gathering. A dense crowd of people, many in white clothing and some in colourful saris and shirts, stands and walks across a dusty ground. Strings of small lights and tall lamp posts outline the area, and a lit stage or shrine structure with a framed image sits in the distance below a dark hill. Some people carry bags and one elderly woman in white stands in the foreground.
