Night photo of a large crowd gathered on a dirt ground beneath trees at a festival procession. Many people in white dhotis and white shirts, women in saris and salwar kameez, and children fill the scene; several raise hands in devotion. A bald man in an orange-saffron robe stands near the center, his arms bent, and an older man in a light saffron cloth stands beside him. A yellow-flowering tree and a pennant with a red emblem appear at the right, and a white vehicle is parked at the edge. The count is far above twenty, so the scene holds well over twenty people.
