Night photograph of a large crowd of men dressed in white dhotis and white shirts moving across a dusty open ground, many in dynamic motion with arms raised and bodies turning. Dust or smoke haze hangs in the air, lit by white floodlights on poles and strings of multicoloured lights along the background, with a distant illuminated stage or structure at top. A few men wear white shawls or red-and-gold cloth draped over their shoulders, and one bare-chested man in a white dhoti with gold border stands at right. The scene suggests a festive night gathering. No identifiable a person figure is visibly present.

A large dense crowd, mostly men dressed in white dhotis and shirts, dances and sways with raised arms and clapping hands. Several men wear rudraksha-style neck garlands and white badges. A few figures in orange or saffron clothing stand among the crowd. A raised stage with a glowing structure sits at the back, framed by rows of multicoloured lights and glowing light poles. The atmosphere is celebratory, consistent with a Mahashivaratri night gathering.2016-03-07March 07 20162016-03-07
