A dense outdoor crowd of devotees gathers on a dirt road beside a rocky red-earth slope and green trees. Many men wear white shirts and white dhotis, and several women wear saris in pastel and bright colours. Near the centre, a white pickup truck carries a saffron flag on a pole, and a man in white stands on or beside it, lifting a white chair overhead. Some hands are raised and people press forward toward the vehicle. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so no identification is made.
