Dusk view of a large white open-sided pavilion with a pink-lit canopy, hung with tall vertical decorative poles wrapped in multicoloured cloth and tassels. A dark hill rises behind under a deep blue evening sky. A paved courtyard in front holds a row of about a dozen people in white and cream dhotis and kurtas and a few in saffron-toned or dark clothing, standing behind a metal barrier and gazing toward the tent. Inside, a red carpet covers the floor with many seated devotees in white. Floodlights on poles light the scene, and no-entry signs are posted on the barrier.
