A crowd of men, women and children gathers under a red, green and purple canopy with floral patterns, beside a tiled-roof house with an orange-painted doorway. A figure in an orange robe stands in the doorway area, possibly a devotee or sannyasi, while a man in a white dhoti holds a small child on his hip. Many people in white shirts, white dhotis and white saris stand close together, and an older man in a plaid shirt faces the group with his hand raised to his head. The setting is an open courtyard with plants and a white cloth sheet at left.
