A large crowd of devotees stands in rows outdoors at night, nearly all wearing a white cloth blindfold tied across their eyes. Many wear white or pastel shirts and salwar kameez, with a woman in a blue-green salwar in the foreground and a man in a lavender polo shirt beside her. A man in a saffron-orange kurta walks through the front rows, and a woman in white with a shawl is at lower right. Metal railing separates the front from the crowd behind. Banners with printed portraits hang at the top of the frame, and a pale blue-lit sky frames the scene. The people are physically present and standing, so this is a photograph of an in-person gathering.
