Young women in colourful silk saris perform a stick dance under a red and white striped canopy on a green tarpaulin stage. Several dancers kneel and others stand, holding short coloured sticks raised overhead in pink, blue and orange. Their saris are orange, red, pink, purple and green with gold borders and gold bangles. Behind them a large crowd of mostly white-clad devotees sits on the ground, and a man in grey trousers adjusts the green cloth at the right edge. Confetti lies scattered on the stage.
