A row of devotees in saffron-orange robes sit side by side holding small lit oil lamps and flames aloft in their hands, with a blurred line of further participants and many glowing lamps in the foreground. The nearest figure is a shaved-headed man in orange wearing glasses and a bead necklace, and a gold bangle is visible on his wrist. The scene suggests a lamp-lighting ritual in a dim hall.
