Large evening gathering of devotees seated on stone ground in front of a dark stone wall and a raised stone platform lit by a single oil lamp on a bracket. Most women wear white clothes with orange shawls draped over the shoulders, many with hands pressed together in anjali or eyes closed in prayer, and some with vibhuti or kumkum on the forehead and rudraksha malas. In the foreground a woman in white with an orange shawl and folded hands sits near a seated woman with grey hair. Behind them the crowd recedes into the dusk, with a few figures standing at the back. Setting suggests a night satsang or puja at a temple courtyard.
