A dense crowd of men, women and children pushes through a narrow, dimly lit street with old stone buildings and a bright light glowing in the background. In the centre, a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala around his neck leans forward through the press of people, his face turned down and to the side. Many onlookers wear white shirts, others wear yellow striped or red clothing, and some hold up phones and raised hands. Blurred motion suggests people moving quickly through the crowd.
