A large group of devotees sits in rows on a polished white floor during an evening gathering, many holding lit oil lamps in cupped hands with hands folded in prayer. In the foreground a man in white kurta and white dhoti with a red-and-gold shawl sits cross-legged and holds a lamp, beside a woman in a white sari with a red shawl who also holds a lit lamp. Behind them rows of people in orange and red robes and shawls sit on banana-leaf plates arranged with food, rice, small cups and water bottles. Monks in saffron-orange robes with shaved heads sit at right, palms pressed together. Purple-lit decorative walls frame the hall and a camera operator stands in the background. No identifiable a person figure is clearly visible.
