A large seated crowd fills a courtyard of a temple with pink and grey walls and arched colonnades. Most people sit on the ground with eyes closed or heads bowed, some with hands folded. Many men wear white shirts and white dhotis, while women wear saris and salwar kameez in orange, green, blue, purple and pink. A young girl in a pink and blue shawl sits in the foreground, and a woman holds a small child wrapped in a pink blanket. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person in the crowd, and no one is standing on a raised seat or throne.
