Outdoor photo of a crowd gathered on a raised concrete platform before a small grey stone shrine topped with white bull figures, with trees behind. A man in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl, wearing a large white and multicoloured flower garland and a rudraksha mala, walks barefoot down concrete steps toward the viewer. Behind the shrine, many devotees in colourful saris and kurtas stand with palms pressed together. A man in white kurta reaches toward a bowed companion in orange and white. Dark-clad onlookers fill the foreground. The orange-clad walker is a person by appearance cues: long swept hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala and garland, with no visible text naming him.
