A large outdoor gathering of seated devotees at an open-air event ground, with rows of red plastic chairs filled with people mostly in white clothing. Many wear white dhotis and sarees with coloured borders, along with saffron, yellow and pink shawls and scarves; several older men in white shirts and dhotis sit on the right. A film crew operates a jib camera on a long arm, and tall stage lights and scaffolding frame the scene. A decorated golden palanquin or ratha stands in the background, and a large banner with a portrait is displayed on a pole. Many people wear headphones. No single clearly identifiable candidate is shown at close range in the foreground.
