Night-time outdoor gathering of a large crowd seated on tiered red-brick steps, with many people wearing white kurtas and dhotis and rudraksha malas, alongside women in colourful saris and salwar kameez, and some in purple and yellow. Rows of brass and metal pots or lamps line the steps in front of them. Strings of coloured festival lights and small flags run along the top of a fence, with a row of Tibetan-style prayer flags at the right edge. Several people in the foreground hold their hands together or sit in reflective poses, and a few look toward the stage area beyond the frame. No single individual is clearly identifiable as a person from this view.
