A large crowd of devotees stands and moves together inside a decorated tent hall with white draped walls and a ceiling hung with orange, red and yellow paper lanterns and cylindrical streamers. Many people wear white kurtas and dhotis, while others wear yellow, teal, maroon and cream outfits, and several men have orange or saffron shawls over their shoulders. Some raise their arms in a dancing or chanting gesture, and a few carry orange cloth or wear orange scarves. The floor is covered with colourful striped woven mats. At the far right a man in a yellow shirt raises an arm, and a man in a teal kurta stands in the foreground. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so the candidate is left unsure.
