Night-time outdoor scene of a row of men in white dhotis and shawls with red-and-maroon borders, many with white vertical tilak and facial markings. Several stand with hands pressed together in anjali, faces lifted upward in devotion. A man at left, with a bare head and gold necklace, tilts his head back with eyes closed, and a man at right holds a round brass-coloured cymbal or kartal. Dark trees form the background. The setting suggests a devotional kirtan or temple gathering, with no a person candidate clearly identifiable by appearance.
