A large seated crowd of devotees, mostly in white clothes, sits on the ground facing a central figure in saffron-orange robes seated on a raised spot. Men and women in white and pink saris kneel and sit with palms pressed together. Bamboo scaffolding and a low platform stand in the background, with standing attendants in white.
