A large night-time outdoor gathering of a dense crowd seated on the ground facing a distant illuminated stage. Many people wear white, with some in orange, pink and purple saris, sitting behind low bamboo barriers with small brass lamps and offerings placed along the rail in the foreground. Rows of orange triangular bunting and tall orange flags line the open ground, and a small ornate shrine-like structure glowing with light stands at the centre, with a bus visible at the right edge. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person from the visible scene.

Dense rows of people, many women in colourful saris and head coverings and men in white or pastel shirts, fill the foreground, with heads receding into the distance. Floodlight towers and suspended white screens flank the event, and a decorated stage with red and gold draping and a canopy stands at the far end. Individual faces are too small to read, so no one is singled out. The scene reads as a large public discourse or celebration.2010-12-2927 ஏப்ரல் 2008 உலகளாவிய இந்து சமுதாயங்கள் +1 copies
