A crowd of devotees gathers under a large cloth canopy with rainbow-coloured scalloped edging and bamboo poles, outdoors near rocky hills and green trees. Many people wear white dhotis, white shirts and white saris with gold borders; some women have long braids and one wears a green top. Several figures in the centre hold up ceremonial items, and a small boy in a checked shirt stands at left holding a water bottle. The crowd presses toward a second rainbow-striped canopy ahead.
