Outdoor gathering under a green mesh shade canopy at an open-air shrine. Many people sit on mats and cloth on bare ground, facing a small shrine platform with garlands and a few ritual objects. Several seated people wear orange and saffron robes, while others wear white, pink and maroon clothing. A cameraman stands at left beside a tripod-mounted camera, and a standing figure in orange at the platform's edge may be a camera operator. Metal ritual items and a trident stand near the shrine, and a small pavilion with a red-tiled roof is behind it. No figure can be confidently identified as a person from appearance, so the seated devotees and sannyasis are described by role.
