A large crowd of devotees sits on tiered red steps outdoors at a gathering, many with palms pressed together in prayer. Most wear white or cream clothing, with some in saffron, orange, red and green saris and salwar kameez. Several women wear red or orange shawls and rudraksha or bead necklaces; one woman in a white head covering sits near the front with hands folded. A chain-link fence and a pale water surface are behind them. No one is clearly identifiable as a person in this crowd, and the focus is on the seated devotees in prayer.
