A large outdoor crowd of devotees walks along a sandy, unfinished path between grey concrete-block walls under tall trees, at a construction site with a multi-storey building behind. Many men wear white shirts and white dhotis, some with white cloth over their shoulders and a rudraksha-style mala visible on one man at left. Women wear white and cream sarees, including one in a green blouse with a cream-and-gold border, and some carry bags. Several people kneel or bend near the path, and a man in dark-framed glasses in the foreground faces away from the camera. No individual is clearly identifiable as the swami from appearance alone, so the people are described by role as devotees.
