A dim, crowded photograph of a devotee in saffron-orange robes and a gold-and-orange turban, wearing an orange and yellow marigold garland, pressed among other people in orange, red and pink clothing. One hand is raised near the chest holding something, and the face is partly turned away. The warm red-orange lighting dominates the scene and figures closely surround the central person. The central figure shows no clear a person cues such as long swept-back hair or a crown, so identity is not established.
