Outdoor rain-soaked gathering of a large crowd seated on a wet stone floor under a tree. Many participants wear white dhotis and white garments with red-maroon shawls draped over their shoulders. A standing group in the back wears saffron and maroon robes, and a man in the center holds a white megaphone. A figure in orange robes and a lei-like garland sits on a wooden bench near the middle, with a light-skinned man seated to the right in ochre clothing. Umbrellas are visible at the top left, and a few women with wet hair sit near the front. Most people appear to be devotees attending a ritual session in the rain.

Several shaved-headed monks in orange robes stand behind, some with rudraksha garlands. A woman in white at right wears a red shawl, and umbrellas and saffron flags are visible. The setting suggests a Hindu pilgrimage gathering with devotees in attendance.

Several women sit in the foreground, one in an orange top, and men in white kurtas stand at the back. Greenery and a wooden structure are visible beyond the open sides.

Several people hold tall red and saffron flags on poles, and umbrellas appear in the background. Many faces are visible and smiling, and a few women wear white head coverings. No single person is clearly identifiable as the a person from appearance cues, so the figures are described by role as participants and devotees at a ritual gathering.2015-09-18February 23 20162016-02-23September 15 20152015-09-15 +1 copies
