A dense crowd packs a plain white-walled hall with ceiling fans and tall decorative hangings. Many devotees press forward, clasping hands and reaching out, while a few sannyasis in orange and saffron stand among them. Near the centre, an elderly man with a long white beard in white clothing is surrounded by people. A woman in a red-orange sari is at the centre-right, and women with long braided hair, flowers and bindi wear pink, white and red saris. A young child in a blue outfit is held at the centre-right. A silver ritual implement is raised at the right. Windows, curtains and a mirror frame the room. The crowd is too close and mixed to confirm any single individual's identity from the visible cues, so no one is identified here.
