Evening photo of a seated gathering in an open-air courtyard decorated with marigold garlands and string lights. On the left, a figure in a saffron-orange robe sits on a carved wooden throne-like seat with a visible leopard-print cushion; the face is not clearly visible and the figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so this is a person in orange robes on a throne. In front, brass oil lamps stand on a green mat. Dozens of devotees in white dhotis and white kurtas or saris, many wearing lanyards, sit in rows facing the throne, with a few in orange or red clothing. A bright light illuminates the upper centre.
