A large nighttime outdoor crowd gathered in an open ground lit by several white floodlights on tall poles. Most people stand packed together, many men wear white shirts and dhotis, and some wear colourful clothing; a few hold umbrellas. Metal barricade railings separate the front of the crowd, and a camera on a tripod and a crane-mounted camera rig are visible at right. Temporary structures and string lights frame the event grounds. The people are too numerous and distant to count individually.
