In the foreground, women hold small white figurine-like objects on gold-trimmed trays; one woman in a saffron and gold sari with a rudraksha mala speaks while gesturing with her right hand, and another in a coral kurta with a beige shawl holds a tray. Others in orange, pink and white clothing stand behind them, some with name badges. No a person candidate is clearly visible; the figures appear to be devotees and participants.2016-12-06December 06 20162016-12-06A photograph of a long queue of women and girls standing in a line on a red carpet at a large indoor hall.

Behind them a red-draped tent interior shows seated and standing devotees in white and red saris, a woman in red with gold bangles, and a large screen showing a ritual. Lamps and red-and-orange hanging decorations are visible at the top right.2016-12-12A festive indoor hall with red drapes, hanging colourful paper lanterns and a large screen showing a bearded man in a red-and-white outfit. Several women in saris and salwar kameez carry brass trays and a small framed deity murti; one woman in a green patterned dress holds a framed image of a deity in a red shrine. Devotees sit on a red floor, some in white ritual clothes, with brass plates in front of them. Some people sit on the floor, others stand; the scene looks like a puja or deepam offering gathering. The page does not establish that the screen figure is a identifiable candidate, so no in-person a person is asserted. Roughly two dozen people are visible.2016-12-12May 03 20162016-05-03December 09 20152015-12-09December 17 20112011-12-17A large crowd of women and girls packed together in an indoor hall, many wearing orange and saffron shawls and dupattas.
