A large crowd of devotees stands in a red-and-gold draped hall facing a stage, many with palms pressed together in anjali. Men wear white kurtas and shawls, some with rudraksha malas; women wear saris and salwars in pink, orange, yellow, green and purple. A cameraman on a crane-mounted rig films the scene, and a large screen above shows figures in saffron and white. No individual can be confidently identified as a person from the image, so a person is unsure.
