A crowd of devotees gathered in a narrow market lane with shuttered shopfronts and hanging fabrics. Many people raise their hands in greeting or namaste, and several hold up mobile phones to photograph or film. Men in white shirts, yellow kurta, and a pink-and-orange shirt stand in the foreground, and women wear saris and salwar kameez in bright pinks, greens, blues and purples. A young man at centre right with orange tilak on his forehead presses his palms together in namaste. Another man at the front right wears a plain blue shirt, and a shaved-headed man in a green shirt stands at right. No single person is identifiable as a person in this crowd, so the scene shows devotees, not a clearly visible central figure.
