A large outdoor crowd of devotees gathers in a courtyard before a pale stone wall, with colourful parasols and umbrellas raised above them in pink, blue, orange and green. Many wear rudraksha malas; men in white kurta and dhoti stand alongside women in saris and salwar kameez, including a bright pink sari and a teal green patterned dress. Several people raise hands in prayer or hold up phones, and a camera operator is visible at lower left. No single figure can be identified as a person from appearance cues in this image, so no appearance-based label is given.
