A photograph of a crowd of devotees standing in a line on a dirt ground outdoors, many with arms folded, wearing white shirts and trousers, with some younger boys in white and women in white salwar kameez and red shawls. A green-roofed red building and coconut palms stand behind them under a pale sky. At right, a man in a maroon shirt and white trousers stands beside a large printed banner showing a smiling person in an orange headwrap and orange garment, but the banner is a printed image and not a physical person, so it is not counted. A small logo appears at the top left corner.
