Night-time outdoor ritual on a raised stone platform. A seated figure in an orange robe with long dark hair sits before a brass puja tray and small metal vessels, with a white cloth draped behind. Nearby, a figure in a white robe stands at a white-draped table, and several people in white clothes stand and sit in the background. Seated devotees in white and light clothing fill the left foreground, many holding papers or small items. A large stone or rock formation with a garlanded orange-clad figure rises at right. Hanging lights and a tripod-mounted camera are visible. The scene suggests a satsang or puja after dark.
