A night outdoor gathering in front of parked vehicles and strings of lights. A large crowd of devotees, mostly dressed in white, many with white or colored cloth blindfolds tied over their eyes, sits on the ground in rows. Standing above the crowd near the centre is a figure in a long orange-brown robe with a swept-back head covering, holding a trident-like staff. To the right, a man in saffron-orange robes stands holding a long ceremonial staff topped with a trident. The scene suggests a Shiva Ratri night meditation session. Roughly 100 people are visible.
