Most people hold long brass horns or conch-like horns to their mouths or lap. A bare-chested man in white dhoti sits centre-right with a rudraksha mala and a pendant, a bearded man with long hair sits beside him, and a girl in purple top and dark leggings sits at left blowing a horn. Women in pink, yellow and green saris and a woman in orange sit among the rows, and a boy in a dark shirt blows a horn at right. A red and yellow flag and a pale wall sit behind. Rows of seated devotees fill the steps.
