A large crowd of villagers gathers outdoors in front of a blue-walled building with a flagpole flying an orange saffron flag, beside a small pink temple-like structure with a sign. Among them a bald, bare-chested man in orange saffron cloth stands near the center with a ceremonial canopy behind him. Many people in white dhotis, saffron, blue and red clothing press close, some older men and women in saris, and a cameraman with a video camera films at the right edge. Storm-damaged trees and debris line the background.
