Outdoor photo of a line of men standing on a raised paved walkway under a tree beside a red pole, with palm trees and a grey stone sculpture behind them. Many men wear white dhotis or white kurta shirts, some wear shirts and trousers, and several hold orange-red flags on poles. Two men on the right hold long wooden staffs or instruments while standing with arms folded. A row of rubber sandals lies on the dirt below. Several people wear white kurtas with small necklaces. No single figure is clearly a person in this crowd; the men are devotees or event attendees.
