Outdoor ritual gathering under a corrugated tin canopy with bamboo poles, beside a tall decorated flag-staff and a white stone shrine base draped with garlands. Many devotees in white dhotis and white saris stand in a dense crowd, some holding small bags. In the foreground a mat-covered area holds a blue figurine decorated with yellow marigold garlands, an orange cloth, brass lamps and plates of offerings, with a wooden drum-shaped object beside it. Incense smoke rises among coconut palms and red-and-orange pennants. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible, as the people are seen from behind or at distance.
