Outdoor evening ritual at night in front of an illuminated colonial-style building. A bare-chested man with long swept-back hair, wearing a red-orange shawl, a leopard-print lower cloth and a rudraksha mala with a gold-toned ornament, stands on the right holding a brass bell in one hand and an aarti lamp with flaming wicks in the other. Seated on the grass before him, a large crowd of devotees in white clothes with red-orange shawls sits with palms pressed together in namaskar. A few small oil lamps glow on the ground in the foreground, and incense smoke rises in the background. The man's appearance with long hair, shawl and mala gives a probable Swamiji (probable) candidate performing aarti, while the seated devotees are attendees. The crowd fills the lawn and the steps behind it.
