A large crowd of devotees, mostly dressed in white, fills a covered hall at an event at Salem, Tamil Nadu. Many raise their arms and clap or wave in unison toward a stage. In the foreground, a person with long dark hair in a red top stands with back to the camera, arms raised in front of a white railing. Some attendees wear white shawls and lanyards with badges, and saffron and orange banners and decorated poles line the hall. Several rows of people in the back are standing on raised steps. No one can be confidently identified as a person from appearance here, and the figure in front is shown only from behind.
