Many men in white shirts and white dhotis walk closely together, several wearing rudraksha or beaded mala necklaces; one man in a white shirt has N.D.S.S. printed on the back. A devotee in a white dhoti and orange sash holds a long garland of white flowers. A red and gold ceremonial umbrella with a yellow emblem is raised above the crowd, and orange flags are carried. Some people wear orange or red headcloths. A large crowd fills the frame.
