A dense crowd of devotees, mostly women and girls in salwar kameez and saris with some men and young children, queues behind a silver metal railing inside a decorated tent. A large gilded palanquin or chariot with red, green and gold tassels and a carved golden ceremonial frame stands on the left, and golden pillars with a gilded figure appear at right. Several people reach toward the railing, and a few hold up phones. No clearly identifiable a person candidate is visible among the people; the scene appears to be darshan or procession queuing at a temple-like setting.
