A dense crowd of devotees sits on the floor of a large hall during a deepam-style gathering. Many wear white kurtas and saris, some with orange or saffron shawls, rudraksha malas and kumkum on their foreheads. Several hold small round lamps or oil-lamp-like items in their hands, and many women have flowers in their hair. Bags, handbags and purple cloth lie among the people. Some participants appear to be handling lamps during the gathering.
