Most men wear white shirts and dhotis, and a few wear orange and saffron garments; one man in the foreground wears a saffron-and-green sash over a white shirt and holds his hands in namaste. A tall man in white shirt and dark-rimmed glasses stands at right, and a woman in the lower left wears a dark top. Beyond them are parked autorickshaws, cars, vans and a truck, with a low concrete building, a tiled roof and a small shrine-like structure in the background. A cameraperson with a shoulder camera films at the left edge. No identifiable a person is clearly visible in this crowd.
