A crowd of devotees fills a hall in front of a large backdrop showing a smiling woman with a bindi in black and white, with orange and tinsel decorations above. At the centre, a man in an orange turban, orange robe and rudraksha mala stands on a raised white platform, flanked by people in white shirts and dhotis. Devotees in front wear striped and checked shirts, and a woman in a white sari with a beaded necklace stands at right beside a ceiling fan. The man in orange has long hair, but his face is not clearly visible enough to confirm identity, so this is an uncertain candidate. The scene shows a public gathering at a KAILASA event.
