A large seated crowd of devotees under a long canopy with red, green and blue striped and patterned cloth. Most people sit cross-legged on mats in white clothing, many women in white saris with red bands tied over their eyes as blindfolds, some wearing beaded or gold necklaces and identity badges. Some men in white shirts and dhotis sit among them, and a few people in the background walk along the edge of a red wall. The setting appears to be an outdoor open-air event with palm trees behind the structure. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person in this view.
