Most wear white clothing with red-orange shawls draped over their shoulders, and several have rudraksha beads or strings of beads around their necks. In the foreground a woman with dark curly hair holds a flame near her chest, while a girl in a white dress and a boy with curly hair sit nearby. Behind them, in the upper background, people in white and red-orange garments sit before a raised altar with white flower arrangements and framed images. The mood is focused and devotional.2014-07-18May 03 20142014-05-03A crowded indoor gathering of devotees in white kurta-style clothing with red-orange shawls and red waist sashes, many with orange and rudraksha mala beads.

A video camera on a tripod is visible in the background.

In the foreground, several bare-chested men in white dhoti-style cloth and orange-red sashes hold small flames, with lanyards and name badges around their necks. A woman in white with a long black braid and an orange-red sash sits among them, also holding a lamp. Behind them, rows of people in white and orange clothing fill the room, with a golden deity murti and a bright screen visible at the back.
