A photograph of a large seated gathering in a courtyard with red-painted walls and a grey stone pillar in the foreground. Many devotees wear saffron and orange robes, some in white with gold-bordered clothing, and several have painted forehead marks and rudraksha or bead necklaces. Two women in green and teal saris sit near the centre, and a brass kalasha-style vessel stands at left. The crowd sits attentively, most facing forward toward an unseen speaker. Many people are visible, though the back rows are partly cropped.
