Night outdoor gathering of a large seated crowd, mostly women and girls in rust-red and maroon robes with yellow borders and rudraksha malas, many with white vibhuti or tilak marks on their foreheads. Some sit with hands folded in prayer or palms joined, others rest their heads on their hands. Behind them, standing onlookers in white and orange clothing watch, and a few men in orange and white kurtas stand near the back. Bright lights illuminate the scene, with a patterned rug and dirt ground beneath the seated devotees.
