Outdoors at night on a lawn, a man with a short dark beard sits on an ornate gold-framed chair under a fringed yellow canopy. He wears a rust-red turban and a rust-red embroidered long coat with a gold-trimmed sash, holding a staff across his lap. Before him on a white fringed rug, a woman in an orange robe lies prostrate with her hands joined, as a padapuja-style offering. Seated behind on mats, several devotees in white clothes fold their hands in prayer, including a man with glasses and a woman in white. Lanterns glow along stone steps in the background.
