Night outdoor event with a large crowd behind barricades and illuminated pillars in the background. A figure in an orange turban, long swept-back hair, orange robe and rudraksha-style beads bends forward to bless two young children in front of a red-lined tray holding mangoes, rudraksha malas, small bottles and prasad packets. A young man in orange robes kneels at left, and men and women in white and light clothing stand watching, some smiling. A gold-handled ceremonial item rests on the right. The person giving blessings is not clearly identifiable from appearance, so the role is described as a robed devotee-led giver.
