Night-time outdoor gathering at a temple-like compound lit by a row of tube lights strung overhead. A crowd of devotees presses forward, many with hands pressed together in namaskar, several in white shirts and dhotis with ID lanyards. A woman in an orange sari and a woman in white with a yellow shawl stand near the centre, and a man in a white shirt and cream trousers leads the way. An orange and red ceremonial flag or banner rises above the crowd near the lights. A camera operator with a shoulder camera films at right, and a building with lit windows stands at the back.
