A large crowd of devotees stands in long lines on a paved courtyard outdoors, waiting in an orderly queue beside a white and terracotta building with green roof edges. Men wear white shirts and dhotis, women wear saris and salwar in bright colours, and a few people carry red and white bags. Palm saplings are planted along the edge, a black loudspeaker stands on a metal stand, a seated man in white watches, and rows of plastic chairs sit empty on the right. Trees and a hazy sky lie beyond. The page points to a Karthikai Deepam annadhan event, but no lamps or ritual are visible.
