A large outdoor crowd of devotees wearing red turbans stands closely together in daylight, many wearing white name badges with numbers such as 1024 and 254. Men and women in saris, kurtas, shirts and salwar clothing, some in pink, pastel and printed outfits, look toward the event. Some wear rudraksha malas and glasses. Behind them are construction equipment, a yellow bulldozer, parked white vehicles, green mesh screening and a red flag, with a hazy dusty atmosphere. The scene suggests the mass gathering at the Guinness-record Om formation.
