A dense nighttime crowd of devotees, mostly women and children, fills the frame, with a yellow metal pole in the foreground. A man in a white shirt holds a Canon video camera aloft, and another man in a striped green and white polo shirt raises a still camera beside the pole. Many women wear saris with bindi and vibhuti marks, and a young man in a red-trimmed white garment stands at the left. The scene suggests a public gathering after dark, with the attention of the crowd directed toward something outside the frame.
