Outdoor scene at a temple-like compound under tall palm trees and a cloudy sky. Dozens of men sit cross-legged on striped woven mats in rows, mostly in white shirts and dhotis, with some in checked shirts, blue and green tops, and one in an orange shirt in the foreground. In the centre, a tall ornate golden-brown flagstaff with a trident-like emblem rises beside a white stone platform. Several seated figures in white with yellow shawls sit on circular raised platforms, and a single person in an orange robe sits near the centre of the courtyard. A large signboard and a small white shrine structure stand in the background beside a parked white vehicle. Around sixty people are visible.
