A large crowd of devotees packs an outdoor public area under a clear blue sky, many raising their hands and some holding up mobile phones to record. Yellow metal crowd-control barricades in the foreground hold back the crowd, and red and orange flags on poles stand among them. Men in white, saffron and red headwear and women in colourful saris and shawls fill the space. Behind them stands a red banner reading Family Restaurant, and at right a green sign reads Kesh King with Hindi text. No individual a person candidate is clearly visible in this view.
