Outdoor photo of a large crowd gathered on a seaside promenade beside the ocean under bright sunlight. Many men wear white dhotis and white shirts; several wear orange shirts and orange shawls. Orange flags and bunting line a row of bamboo poles, and a green mat runs across the paved ground. At right, people in orange and white stand near a raised platform with flowers and a canopy. A uniformed police officer in khaki stands at left. A small screen or board stands in the middle of the crowd. A man in a striped shirt and an older bearded man in white stand in the foreground.
