A photograph of a crowd of devotees standing in a line inside a dimly lit pavilion with dark draped curtains and a blue pillar at left. Two women in the foreground stand with arms folded: the woman at left wears a white sari with an orange border, a red bindi, a beaded necklace and bangles; the woman at right wears a white sari with a gold border and a gold necklace. Behind them young men in white shirts and white dhotis or trousers stand in rows, some wearing rudraksha-style beaded malas, and one man holds a white cloth to his face. Several other people stand at the back. The scene suggests a satsang or darshan queue, with no visible deity or stage.
