April 21 20132013-04-21A large outdoor festival crowd fills a tent with a red carpeted floor and pink draped walls. Dense rows of devotees in white shirts and dhotis, many with lanyards, raise their arms and clap while a central group reaches upward toward a small red-and-gold object held aloft. Men in beige and cream kurtas and orange-yellow shawls stand among them, and women in saris and salwars watch from the edges. Metal barriers and a red floral offering appear in the foreground, and the scene is energetic and celebratory. No identifiable a person appearance is clearly visible in this crowd.2009-07-08 +1 copiesA large outdoor gathering under a white tented pavilion with draped white fabric, speakers on stands, and a red carpet runner.
