Several silhouetted figures stand in the foreground, including a tall person in a long dark garment and a figure in red-orange robes at right. Two large umbrella-like canopies with dark fringed tops and orange-red borders are held aloft, and a red-and-orange decorated banner or flag hangs at left. Men in white dhoti-style garments stand outside in the sunlight, some holding the canopies. A red carpet runs across the floor toward the entrance. The scene is dark overall with a corrugated metal roof visible above.
