Night-time photo of a large crowd gathered on a dirt ground outdoors, lit by distant lamps and a few floodlights, with bushes and trees behind them. Many people in mixed clothing stand in loose groups; several women wear white, yellow, blue and orange saris or salwar kameez, and some men wear white shirts and trousers. A woman in an orange sari and a man in a tan shirt stand near the centre, and a woman in an orange top with a black shoulder bag stands at right. A woman in a red top stands with folded arms. No deity murti, puja items or readable signs are clearly visible, and no individual is confidently identifiable as a candidate for a person.
