Night outdoor gathering of a large seated audience on white plastic chairs facing a stage under bright floodlights. Many men wear white dhotis and shirts, some with saffron or orange shawls and lanyard badges; women in saris, several in orange and mauve, sit among them. Strings of small lights and bunting in orange and white line the open ground, with palm trees and a tall light pole at the edges. A white cloth banner runs along the front row. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person.
