A dense outdoor crowd of devotees gathers under yellow and maroon draped cloth at a festival site. Most people wear white shirts and white saris or salwar, with some in coloured dresses, and many stand with hands folded or bow their heads. Saffron flags on tall poles rise at the right edge, and a row of parked white vehicles sits beyond a dirt area. A blue sign reads Ladies Toilet beside a palm-leaf decoration. No single figure can be identified as a person with clear appearance cues, so no candidate is marked.
