Outdoor daytime gathering at a dusty site beside a concrete building, framed by strings of coloured pennant flags and banana-leaf decorations on bamboo poles. A crowd of roughly thirty people stands behind the barrier, mostly men in white shirts and white dhotis, and women in saffron, blue and pink saris. A large poster on the right shows a smiling woman in orange clothing with Tamil text above and the figure 2,50,000 printed on it. A plastic-covered table and sandbags sit at the lower left, and a red-and-orange flag flies from a pole on the rooftop.
