Night-time outdoor ritual gathering with a large crowd standing and seated with hands folded in namaste. In the centre, a tall ornate brass lamp stand or kalasha-style post rises before a dark background, with a strand of leafy green garland hung across the top. Foreground: several women seated on raised platforms in red, orange and gold saris with jasmine-flower garlands in their hair, seen from behind. Behind them, a man in a white shirt with a red shawl and a bearded man in an orange-and-white garment stand near the centre, while men bare-chested in white dhotis with red sashes and rudraksha malas stand to the right. Smoke drifts through the left side of the frame.
