A large crowd of devotees gathers densely in a hall, many with hands raised or pressed together in namaskar and prayer. A man in a red kurta with a lanyard stands centre-right with palms joined, while a woman with long dreadlocks in an orange-brown top extends her arm forward. Men in saffron and orange garments wear rudraksha malas, and several women wear beaded necklaces and white or colourful saris. Behind them a large screen shows pink-robed figures and a red and yellow stage backdrop is visible. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance cues, so no candidate is asserted.
