A dense crowd of devotees fills a busy festival area, packed shoulder to shoulder behind a yellow metal barrier at the bottom edge. Many men wear white kurtas and turbans in pink, orange and red, and several women wear saris and dupattas in red, pink and multicolour prints. Uniformed police officers in khaki and navy caps stand among the crowd, one raising a hand to direct people. Some men are bare-chested with orange cloth, and a tall metal pole stands at the right edge. Faces are mostly older men and women, with a few children.
