Night outdoor event lit by tall floodlights and a string of small lamps along the stage edge, with a large crowd of men in white shirts and dhotis pressing close. In the foreground a uniformed police officer in khaki stands among devotees. On a raised red-carpeted platform at right, a woman in an orange sari with gold trim sits beside a wooden podium, holding a small object, with a tray of red fruit and a gold-decorated canopy behind her. A bald man in an orange robe stands on the platform at upper centre with hands folded in greeting. Many people are visible in the crowd, so the count falls in the 100+ range; the exact number is not determinable.
