Foreground devotees have white vibhuti marks on their foreheads. Behind them, warm lights and ornate decorations are visible. The people appear to be in a collective ritual or kirtan-style movement, with arms raised overhead and hands held in gestures. No single individual is clearly identifiable as the a person, and no clear face-based or distinctive-cue candidate appears.2016-10-08A dense crowd of devotees dances energetically in a hall with cream tiled floor and red curtains.
