A large outdoor crowd of several hundred people gathers in a walled courtyard at dusk, many holding colourful umbrellas overhead. In the centre, a figure with long dark hair and an orange-red robe stands with their back to the camera, facing the crowd and raising a conch-like object. Devotees wear white kurtas, saffron and orange garments, pink and blue saris, and red-and-beige rudraksha-style necklaces. A cameraman and photographers stand among them. Concrete walls, a corrugated shed and low hills form the background.
