Outdoor festival crowd gathered on open ground beneath a tree-covered hill under a pale sky. In the foreground, men in white dhotis and saffron-yellow garments carry clay bowls of burning fire on their heads, with green leaves tucked into the rims, while others play hand drums. A tall figure in a green sack-like costume raises a long pole on the left. Behind them stand a tent with blue and colourful bunting, a stage with lighting rigs, a white arched gateway, and a white banner. A few women in saris stand among the crowd. Dozens of people are visible, with many more further back.

A dense crowd of hundreds of devotees, many in white dhotis and white shirts, sits on red plastic chairs and on the ground facing a covered stage with red and white canopies and decorated banana-leaf and palm-frond pillars. Several white projection screens flank the crowd, and a tall red-and-white telecom tower stands at left. Some people in the foreground wear saris and salwar kameez. A man in a pink shirt stands near the crowd. No individual on stage is clearly identifiable, and the stage figures are too distant to assess appearance.2013-01-06January 06 20132013-01-06
