A night-time outdoor gathering under a dim light, with many people in white dhotis and white saris moving among red plastic chairs on sandy ground. Several people hold brass or metal plates with offerings, and some are seated on red and blue chairs. A yellow and maroon drape hangs on the left and a white tent canopy with bamboo poles stands behind the crowd. Blurred motion suggests people walking with offering plates. No one can be confidently identified as a person in this crowd scene.
