Night-time outdoor gathering at a temple-style open ground in Tiruvannamalai, with a large crowd of devotees seated on rows of green plastic chairs and mats facing a stage area. Many attendees wear white shirts and dhotis, some in saffron, with women in yellow and orange saris. Floodlights and strings of small red lights decorate the trees and grounds. On the right stands a large framed portrait of a deity garlanded with red flowers. A tent-like canopy sits to the left. Numerous people, too many to count individually, fill the middle distance.
