A very large outdoor crowd of devotees sits on plastic chairs and stands in rows behind wooden bamboo barriers at an open-air event ground. Many wear white clothes, and a few wear orange or saffron garments; some wear lanyards and white shirts with orange trim. A cameraman on a tripod films the audience in the foreground, and a man in a blue shirt sits near the front. Behind them a large banner shows a deity murti with garlands, and a stage with a canopy and decorated structures stands in the distance under floodlights. Thatched huts and tent structures frame the grounds.
