Behind the display, a crowd of men and women in white shirts and white dhotis or saris stand together, some wearing rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and white identification badges. Copper kalashas with yellow flower garlands stand at the left edge of the table. A man in a white shirt holds a camera at the top left.
