A very large crowd fills a hall during an ashtakarma initiation event. Hundreds of people, mostly in white, cream and saffron-orange clothing, stand and sit closely together, many with arms raised. Many women wear saris and salwar kameez in red, pink, teal, green and yellow, and several men wear white kurtas with orange or red shawls draped over their shoulders. Large video screens display images at the top of the frame, and white draped structures and banners line the background of the hall.
