A man in an orange shawl and orange-red dhoti with a red tilak stands at left with an orange bag, next to a shaved-headed man with a white garland and a bare-chested older man in red cloth. Several women in orange, red and yellow saris and a woman in grey-blue sari stand among the devotees near a deity murti in the background, and a few other devotees move through the crowded passage.
