Large crowd of devotees seated on the floor and in chairs inside a white tented pavilion, viewed from behind. Most wear white or light clothes with orange-red shawls or stoles over their shoulders; some women have long braids and one woman in the foreground raises her hand. Two large screens flank a raised stage at the far end, where several robed figures in orange stand around a decorated altar with deity murti, a kalasha and lit lamps under hanging colourful streamers. Stage figures are too distant for a confident appearance-based identification.
