Outdoor night scene at a temple-like courtyard with stone pillars and a lattice wall. A bald man in a white dhoti and white shirt with a yellow shawl draped over his shoulders stands at center, leaning forward to offer a plate of food to a crowd of children in colourful clothes, including a girl in a green dress and a girl in gold. Beside him, a man bare-chested with rudraksha beads sits on the ground tending a fire pit at right, with brass vessels and offerings near the flames. Several adults in white shirts and a woman in a purple sari stand in the background, and a partially visible child is held by a woman at top left.
