A very large outdoor crowd of devotees sits on rows of grey plastic chairs under an open sky at a festival gathering. Many women wear saris and salwar kameez in red, orange, teal, blue and yellow, while several men wear white shirts. Some attendees hold papers and wear blue or lanyard ID badges. At the upper left a golden ornate chariot or ratha with purple and orange canopy decorations stands near the crowd. Behind them a tall white banner shows a large printed portrait, and a thatched-roof structure and trees rise beyond. Some figures in the foreground are blurred, and the crowd fills nearly the whole frame.
