Evening outdoor ceremony at a temple-like open courtyard with tall palm trees and a dusk sky behind. Many men in white dhotis and white shirts stand in a row at the left, many barefoot on flat round sandals, some holding red-and-orange flags. A central priest in orange robes holds a brass lamp or vessel toward a devotee on a white and red striped platform, with brass pots set in front. On the right, a figure in an orange robe and shawl stands beside a seated woman in orange, and additional people in white and orange saris and robes gather on white steps. A bare-branched shrub grows in the foreground. Many people are visible, so the count is approximate.
