Outdoor photo of a group of devotees standing in prayer with palms pressed together at chest level in a paved courtyard. Many wear white or cream sarees and dhotis, with orange, purple, red and yellow shawls and borders; a man at right in a white dhoti wears a rudraksha mala and a bangle. Behind them are grey stone statues, a tall ornate orange-and-gold kalasha-topped column, coconut palms and a red-pillared pavilion roof. No figure in the scene is clearly identifiable as a person, so no candidate is marked.
