Photograph of a crowded indoor hall during a procession. Several men carry ornate umbrellas with gold-embroidered blue, pink and teal canopies edged with silver tassels and topped by silver finials. Many men wear orange or saffron turbans and white dhotis with rudraksha malas, some bare-chested. A bald man in front wears a white garment and a rudraksha mala. Behind the umbrellas, devotees in white clothing stand against pale walls hung with framed pictures. Ceiling fans and fluorescent lights are overhead. Counted people are numerous and partially visible, forming a dense crowd.
