A group of devotees stands in a open-sided pavilion with a corrugated roof and bright daylight from the sides. Many wear white clothes with orange shawls draped over their shoulders. In the right foreground, a bare-shouldered woman in an orange shawl smiles and gestures toward the group, with a folded cloth on the floor beside her. A man in white at the upper left stands near a woman in white. Several people in the middle wear white dhotis and orange stoles. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible, so the presence is uncertain.
