A night-time outdoor queue of men waits behind a rope barrier and wooden posts on a dirt ground. Most wear white shirts and white dhotis or trousers; one man in front has a rudraksha-style bead mala and carries a brown bag, another in the centre wears a red-and-white checked shirt, and an older bearded man with grey hair stands near the middle. Strings of multicoloured lights and a lit decorated structure glow in the background beside a tall building. No swami or depiction is visible in the frame.
