Crowd of devotees at an outdoor procession gathering, many with palms pressed together in anjali mudra. Most wear white shirts and white dhotis or mundus; several men wear rudraksha malas. A woman in a yellow-bordered sari and a girl in white stand among them, and a boy in an orange shirt presses his hands together at left. Saffron flags and a banner with a portrait are visible in the background under a canopy of banana leaves. Several people in the foreground appear to be smiling.

Beside her, a younger woman in a white floral print salwar kameez with a red bindi and gold bangles holds her palms together. To her right, a woman in a red sari with glasses and gold bangles prays, and behind them a woman in an orange shawl, a man in white with glasses, and other devotees sit in prayer. Green leaves appear at the lower left under a pale sky. No a person candidate is clearly visible in this crowd.

A large seated crowd fills an interior hall, many with palms pressed together in anjali mudra, clapping or in devotional posture. Many men and boys wear orange or saffron cloth and white forehead markings, while others wear white, yellow, green and blue clothing. Several people wear rudraksha or beaded necklaces and bangles. In the foreground, boys in orange garments sit with hands folded. The setting resembles a satsang or discourse gathering. No single figure can be confidently identified as a person from appearance, so no candidate is marked.
