Foreground figures include an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti with a mustard-yellow shawl, a man in a checked shirt, a woman in a pink sari with glasses, a smiling man in a white shirt with a pendant, and a young girl in a pink dress with glasses. Behind them, other people in white and colourful clothing stand along the path, some in orange and yellow garments, and a man in a white vest and orange cloth walks at left.

Outdoor photo of a crowd of devotees lining a paved path under palm trees, some with hands joined in namaste and others gesturing in greeting. Men in white shirts and white or grey trousers wear rudraksha malas, and a man at the centre in a white shirt and white trousers stretches an arm out to others. A woman in a light blue saree with a blue floral border stands nearby, and a woman in a dark saree holds her hands together. A man on the left in a white shirt holds a clipboard, and an orange flag rises behind the group. No clear a person candidate is visible, so the figure is treated as a devotee.
