A group of devotees gathers outdoors on a dusty dirt track beside a red-and-white gate and trees, under bright daylight. In the centre, a man in a red headcloth and rust-brown dhoti holds up a red cloth, while a woman in a rust-brown wrap and long dark braid, wearing many beaded rudraksha malas, reaches toward it. Around them, women wear orange and saffron garments, a woman in a white sari and dark blazer-clad man stand nearby, and a seated woman in a yellow and maroon outfit with a forehead ornament sits below. A man in a pink-and-white checked shirt crouches at right beside a striped pink-blue-green cloth. Several people hold phones and cameras. The scene looks like a candid moment among participants.
