Photograph of a large outdoor open-air pavilion with a crowd of devotees seated on the ground facing a raised stage. Many men in white dhotis, some bare-chested with white sacred threads across their shoulders, sit in rows with their backs to the camera, while a few women in white saris sit at the right edge. On the stage, a central seated figure in red-orange robes sits on a golden throne-like seat before an ornate shrine backdrop with deity murti, garlands and a hanging orange cloth. Camera tripods stand near the stage, and a green cloth hangs over the crowd on the left. Coloured fairy lights decorate the ceiling and red walls surround the area.
