Many attendees wear white or red-and-gold clothing, rudraksha beads and orange-and-red shawls, several with white or sandalwood forehead markings. In the foreground a young woman in an orange garment and rudraksha mala sits with eyes closed, and a girl in a maroon-and-gold dress with beads sits beside her. A small child in white sits in the middle of the crowd. Rows of people sit on the floor and chairs behind them, with a few visitors on chairs at the back.
