Around him a crowd of white-clad devotees, many wearing saffron headbands and rudraksha malas, watch closely, some clapping. On the left a bare-chested man in white dhoti with a gold border stands with hands on hips, and a photographer in white crouches taking pictures. Mats are laid on the ground beneath the rack.
