A dense outdoor crowd of devotees stands behind a yellow metal barrier, many raising hands high and some with palms pressed together in namaste, as they look toward something out of frame.

Behind them a large tree shades tents, red and orange banners with Hindi text, and framed deity and devotional pictures on a festival-style setup.
