A large festive tent hall filled with a dense crowd of seated devotees, mostly women in saree and salwar in pink, maroon, red and yellow, with children among them, many on white plastic chairs and others on mats at the front. Tall decorative hanging poles covered in painted elephants and geometric patterns in red, blue, yellow and white hang from the white tent ceiling. At the far end a stage with maroon curtains and a dark blue backdrop holds a row of figures in white and saffron clothing, with garlands and flower decorations and a small kalasha-style arrangement in front. A figure in white stands at the stage side, and a blue sign with white lettering hangs on the left wall. The scene looks like a Vijayadashami or Navaratri programme in a temporary pavilion.
