A dimly lit indoor gathering of many devotees in white kurtas and white dhotis, most wearing saffron-orange sashes tied at the waist or draped over one shoulder, some with rudraksha malas around their necks. Several people are leaning forward and grasping one another in a tight crowd at the centre, while others stand or move in the background amid a blurred crowd. Walls, pillars and a doorway are visible in the dark room. The scene appears to be a group activity during a yatra-related event; no identifiable figure of a person is clearly visible.2006-06-04June 04 20062006-06-04Indoor photograph of a dimly lit hall with a group of devotees dancing in a circle during a devotional session.
