Night-time photograph of a crowd gathered outdoors at a devotee's house. In the centre, a bare-chested man wearing a rust-red turban, a red-orange cloth wrap and a long necklace of large round bead pendants walks through the crowd. He is garlanded with a long flower garland in red, white and green held up by a man in a teal-green shirt on the right. Behind him, a man in white clothes and another in saffron-orange garments and rudraksha beads are visible. A man in a red-orange garment stands at the back right. Gold armlets are visible on the central figure's upper arm. Bright lights and a camera flash illuminate the scene, with a tree and a whitewashed building in the background. The central figure has a turban and bead necklace, and this is a person cue match but the identification is uncertain from appearance alone.
