A dusk gathering of many devotees sitting on a rocky outcrop at the edge of a hillside, with dark trees and a faint distant town glow behind them. Most people wear white clothes and white shawls with beaded necklaces; a few wear orange or saffron garments. A figure in a bright red top with orange drapery sits centrally facing the group, and a standing man in orange robes with a white beard stands at the left. Others sit in front on the rock, one holding a small black object. The scene appears to be an evening meditation or satsang on the Arunachala hill slopes.
