A crowd of men in white dhotis and white kurtas, many wearing red-and-orange shawls and beaded malas, are standing and moving on colourful woven mats, several with raised arms and clapping hands as if in devotional chanting or dance. Near the back a golden ornate palanquin-style canopy and a small deity murti stand on a platform, with framed printed pictures on the wall. Speakers are visible on the right. No single person among them clearly matches the a person appearance cues, so the presence of a person is uncertain.2015-09-11 +1 copiesAugust 28 20152015-08-28A large crowd of devotees in white dhotis and white shirts or kurtas fills a tented hall with a blue carpet, many dancing and raising hands with joyful movement.
