Large outdoor evening gathering with a dense crowd seated on the ground and in red plastic chairs behind bamboo barricades. Many women in yellow and gold saris and dupattas sit in the foreground, several wearing headphones. Men in white shirts and dhotis stand and sit throughout the crowd. Video cameras on tripods and a boom-mounted camera film the stage, and monitor screens and laptops sit on a draped table. On the monitor at left, a figure in a light head covering is visible among flowers, but the person on stage is too small and distant to identify or count individually. Overhead, a long metal truss holds stage lighting over the crowd.
