Evening crowd gathers on a dirt ground beneath trees strung with red fairy lights and tall white lamps. A silver SUV with its rear lights glowing and spare tyre mounted at the back is parked at the centre, surrounded by many people. Men wear white dhotis, checked shirts and trousers; women wear colourful saris, including an orange sari at right. A woman at lower left has a long grey braid. Nobody in the crowd is clearly identifiable as a specific individual from this view, and no clear sannyasi or throne-seated figure is visible.
