Night photograph of a dense crowd of devotees gathered outdoors under strings of multicoloured lights and decorative garlands strung between poles. Most men wear white shirts and white or cream dhotis, some with orange or saffron shawls draped over their shoulders, and several wear rudraksha or beaded necklaces. Many have palms pressed together in anjali mudra. A bright floodlight illuminates the scene, and a white car is parked at right beside the crowd.
