Outdoors on a wet paved ground, a line of devotees in white traditional clothing stands holding brass kalasha pots topped with green mango leaves and coconut. Men wear white shirts, dhotis and mundus; a woman in a cream sari with gold border holds a pot, and a young girl in a white top and orange-and-teal skirt holds another. Several wear rudraksha or bead necklaces. Behind them a crowd, a white car, a black umbrella and utility poles fill the scene under an overcast sky.
