A large white tented hall with a red carpet runs through a crowded event, lined with hanging strings of colourful paper lanterns and tassels overhead. Devotees in white dhotis and kurtas, some wearing saffron shawls, walk along the carpet and stand in queues near the side. A woman in a saree stands in the middle, and a man in a yellow t-shirt stands among the crowd. Two large screens on the left and right show live footage. A figure in orange robes stands at the right edge, and a few people in white look toward the right. The image shows a busy public gathering rather than a single ritual moment.
