A group of about a dozen people in white clothing stand on a striped woven mat under a tent-like stage with painted decorative pillars featuring elephant and floral motifs. They raise both arms overhead in a synchronized posture. Most wear plain white kurtas or white shirts and trousers, and several wear beaded necklaces. Strings of yellow lights hang across the top of the tent. Two raised pillars at the left and right edges show orange, red and black patterns.
