A large night-time outdoor gathering of devotees, many wearing white blindfolds or white headbands tied over their eyes, standing close together behind a metal barrier. In the foreground a man in an orange-saffron kurta and white dhoti stands with arms folded, beside a woman in a white sari with a rudraksha-style necklace and a woman in teal salwar with a young girl in lavender. Plain white and light-coloured clothing dominates the crowd. At the right edge a video camera on a tripod records the scene. Behind the crowd a stage with coloured bunting and two banners, one with printed text, is lit by floodlights.
