A large outdoor gathering of devotees on mats under palm trees and leafy shade, appearing to chant or pray with palms together and hands raised. Many women and girls wear orange and saffron saris and salwar kameez with rudraksha malas, bangles and gold-toned trim, while some wear red, pink and turquoise outfits. Several participants press their hands to their foreheads in reverence. Behind them, men in white ritual clothes stand among the crowd near a wooden pillar hung with garlands. No a person candidate is clearly visible, so the a person field is none. Visible people number in the dozens.
