A photograph of a large crowd of men gathered on a roadside beside a white boundary wall and a parked white van, with a garland of flowers hung on the van's front. Many men wear blue or brown shirts, and one man in the centre wears a white dhoti with a saffron-orange shawl over his shoulder, standing with his back to the camera. Several men raise folded hands in namaskar and some extend palms toward him, as if offering reverence during a procession stop. A sprawling tree shades the road and a rangoli design is visible at lower right.
