Night-time outdoor photo of a devotional gathering under a canopy with blue and gold edging. A central figure sits on a low wicker seat facing a framed deity image on a draped table, with fruit, flowers and a brass vessel placed before it. The seated figure wears an orange saffron cloth and a white flower garland, with a bald or closely shaved head. Around them, devotees in white dhotis and shirts sit on red and white striped mats, many with palms pressed together in namaskar. Women in white saris stand and kneel at the left, and additional men stand at the right. A light-coloured cloth-wrapped figure sits to the right side. The scene looks like a puja or satsang.
