Night photo of a large outdoor gathering of rows of men seated on the ground, each in white dhoti and shawl with green-striped borders, before a black cylindrical shivalinga-style vessel topped with yellow marigold flowers. Strings of fairy lights and a stage with a banana tree and a bunting-decorated canopy frame the scene, with two white statues or figures visible at the back near the top of the rows. Floodlights light the area against a dark sky.
