A large dense crowd of devotees fills an open courtyard at night, lit by a single lamp at upper right and stone temple walls behind. Most wear white clothes with saffron-orange shawls draped over their shoulders, and many wear lanyards with blue ID badges. Several women in front have red bindi marks, and a few wear rudraksha or beaded necklaces. Faces are turned toward the front as if listening to a discourse, with a foreground woman in white and orange at center and another in orange at right edge.
