Outdoor photograph of a large gathering on a dusty, unpaved open ground with palm trees and a tree line behind. Hundreds of devotees in white clothing stand in loose groups, many women in white saris with coloured borders and men in white kurtas and dhotis. A shaved-headed man in the foreground wears a white robe with a small emblem and a white cloth draped over one arm, pointing ahead. Orange and red flags fly on poles, and a few flatbed trucks with framed portrait banners stand at the left edge. Several orange-and-yellow ceremonial banners hang at the right.
