A large crowd of devotees sits on the ground at night at an outdoor event, facing a stage out of frame. Many wear white dhotis and shirts, while women wear saris in yellow, orange, pink and green, some with vermilion bindi. A few men in saffron or orange cloth sit among them, and a boy in a red shirt sits near the front. Rows of bamboo poles run across the foreground to mark the seating. Colourful string lights, a tent and palm trees frame the scene. Many people are visible, though the full crowd extends beyond the frame. A plastic water bottle sits on the ground at right.
