A photograph taken at night on an open grassy field with a muddy path in the foreground. Several people in orange and saffron robes and white dhoti-style clothing move across the ground, some carrying objects. In the background, a group of people in white and orange stands in a line near a small raised red platform with a red umbrella, beside a red-walled building and trees. Bright light and smoke rise from the left, and a small fire glows on the ground near the center. A person in white clothing stands at the left edge. No single individual can be reliably identified from appearance here, so a person is treated as uncertain.
