Many sit on white plastic chairs, others on the ground, some with arms folded, hands clasped or chin resting on a hand. A man at centre-right wears a white shirt with a yellow-orange tilak on his forehead and holds a folded white cloth; a man at right wears a blue striped shirt with a rudraksha-style necklace. Strings of lights and a pale pink pandal edge the background, with palm trees and a lit street lamp above. A chain barrier runs along the left foreground.
