Night-time outdoor gathering under an open shed with string lights and palm trees. Many men sit cross-legged on striped mats, most bare-chested with white dhotis and rudraksha-style neck cords, some holding small yellow cloth bags. A few women in white and light saree sit at the left edge. In the centre, a tall copper-coloured ritual pillar with a lamp stands beside a small red shrine with a black lingam-like form draped in garlands. A bright floodlight and hanging lights illuminate the scene. A man in a white shawl sits near the front right, and a standing figure in white stands near the back.
