A large crowd of devotees gathers outdoors in a dusty open ground in front of a red compound wall, many with palms pressed together in namaskar. Most women wear white saris with gold borders and have long braided hair, some with flowers in their hair; a few wear orange or red garments. Men wear white shirts and white dhotis. A figure in an orange-saffron robe stands at the centre, and a trident-tipped staff rises on the right beside a yellow flag on a pole. Men in white shirts and dhotis are visible behind the crowd, and a tall yellow vehicle with decorative elements sits at the left edge.
