Large outdoor gathering of seated devotees on mats along the rocky edge of a still pond, under a leafy tree and palm fronds. Most wear white ritual clothing; a man in a red shirt with an orange-yellow shawl sits near the water, and a man in a blue top at right holds a small offering dish. Many participants hold small plates or cups, appearing to take part in a tharpanam offering, with others meditating with eyes closed. A woman in a yellow garment sits at lower left. Rocky stone embankments frame the scene. No identifiable a person figure is visible.
