Outdoor photograph of a large group of devotees standing in a long line along the top of a raw red-earth embankment at an open site. Most wear white kurtas, dhotis and white garments, with some in saffron-orange and pale pink or green saris and salwar. Several men in the foreground in white shirts and dhotis stand on the lower slope, some with white sacred threads and rudraksha-style beads, one holding a small object. Behind them, a fenced area, scattered trees, a few parked vehicles, a construction machine and a line of white buildings with red roofs stretch across a dry field under a pale sky. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible in this frame.
