A large dense crowd of devotees fills a night-time outdoor event space. Many wear saffron-orange scarves or shawls, and some have orange lanyards. Women in colourful saris and salwar kameez stand close together, while men in white kurtas and shirts are interspersed. On the left, two stewards in yellow-and-silver reflective safety vests and orange-accented uniforms guide the crowd. Behind them, tall orange and red banners and a painted backdrop with a deity-like figure surround the area, with a white-and-gold parasol visible at the upper centre. Nothing in the frame is clearly a person candidate, so no appearance-based identification is made.
