A crowd of devotees gathers outdoors before a shrine with a deity murti decorated with garlands, a cobra hood canopy and gold ornaments, flanked by golden arches and a red curtain. In the foreground, a man in bare chest and saffron-orange dhoti and shawl stands with his back to the camera, alongside another person in similar orange-red robes. Other devotees wear white dhotis, saffron and orange saris, and Western-style clothing, some with backpacks and handbags. A small brass lamp and a stone platform sit in the foreground, with hanging decorations above. No candidate for a person is clearly identifiable from appearance, so the figures are described by role and clothing only.
