Night-time street photo of a seated group of devotees on a dark mat in front of a lit building with orange-painted walls and a balcony. Many people sit in rows, many in white or cream clothes, some in orange and yellow saris, with brass vessels and offerings set on cloth in front of them. A standing man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands at right beside a lamp-lit shop front. A bright overhead light and a large tree frame the scene. No figure can be confidently identified as a person from appearance; the page notes his presence but the visible cues are insufficient.
