Outdoor photograph of a crowd gathered around a small stone shrine with a white bull and deity figures on its roof, surrounded by tall poles and trees. A central figure in a saffron robe with a white and orange garland walks down stone steps, smiling, while a devotee in white stands nearby. Behind them, women in saffron, purple, blue, yellow and green saris and men in white dhotis stand on a raised concrete platform with hands folded in prayer. A man in an orange robe with an orange shawl gestures at the lower left, and a woman in white attends him. a person (saffron robe, garland) appears as a devotee-style figure walking down; the central saffron-robed garlanded figure fits the presentation cues but identity is uncertain.
