A large night-time outdoor gathering of devotees seated densely on the ground behind a low wooden railing. Most women wear saris and head scarves in red, orange, yellow, white and striped patterns, with a few children at the front right. Tall ornate banners with gold borders and saffron-toned imagery flank the scene, and a blue water tanker truck and white-uniformed volunteers stand in the background. A blue sign with Tamil text and a white banner hang on the fencing. The lighting is dim with bright spots from floodlights.
