A crowd of devotees in white dhotis and kurtas stands on a red carpet at an outdoor event. In the foreground, a man wrapped in a gold-brocade shawl is seated and bowing forward, while another man in cream-coloured clothes bends low with his head near the carpet, performing a prostration. Behind them, standing devotees wear white shirts and trousers, and a woman in a green floral sari stands at right. Several people wear orange-and-white ribbon rosettes on their chests. No identifiable a person candidate is clearly visible, so the seated figure in gold is only a devotee performing reverence.
