Outdoor event at the foot of a forested hillside, with a covered stage draped in white and orange cloth at centre. Several figures in white stand and sit on the stage and in front of it, while a crowd in white clothes gathers below. Strings of multicoloured bunting and decorated umbrellas or canopies frame the open ground, and a loudspeaker and lighting rig stand on the left under a hazy green sky. The scene suggests an open-air ceremony or gathering, with the banners and canopies giving it a festive look.

A dense crowd of hundreds of devotees, many in white dhotis and white shirts, sits on red plastic chairs and on the ground facing a covered stage with red and white canopies and decorated banana-leaf and palm-frond pillars. Several white projection screens flank the crowd, and a tall red-and-white telecom tower stands at left. Some people in the foreground wear saris and salwar kameez. A man in a pink shirt stands near the crowd. No individual on stage is clearly identifiable, and the stage figures are too distant to assess appearance.2013-01-06December 29 20102010-12-29December 29 20102010-12-29December 29 20102010-12-29Large outdoor crowd, mostly men and women dressed in white and cream clothes, fills the open ground in front of a stage backed by a green hillside.
