Outdoor photo on a dusty reddish-brown dirt ground beneath cloudy skies and trees, with a red-brick wall at left. Two long lines of people face each other, many in white ritual clothing, arms raised overhead in a gesture; one man in a white shirt and dark trousers stands at center-right with arms raised. Women in blue, white and orange saris or salwar outfits and a man in a blue shirt join the line; a child in red stands among them. Sandals rest on the ground. No individual can be confidently identified as a person from appearance here, so no candidate is claimed.
