A large crowd of devotees dressed in white kurtas and dhotis, many wearing rust-orange or saffron shawls and rudraksha malas, raise their arms and move energetically in a hall. Foreground devotees have white vibhuti marks on their foreheads. Behind them, warm lights and ornate decorations are visible. The people appear to be in a collective ritual or kirtan-style movement, with arms raised overhead and hands held in gestures. No single individual is clearly identifiable as the a person, and no clear face-based or distinctive-cue candidate appears.
