Night outdoor scene with a long stone or brick tiered wall in the background and small lights glowing at the top left. In the foreground a man with long, swept-back dark curly hair, wearing an orange-saffron shawl and a heavy gold ornamental necklace with a large gold pendant, stands with palms pressed together at his face in anjali mudra with eyes closed. Beside and behind him stands a second man in an orange-saffron garment with a red tilak mark on his forehead. A third person's head is partially visible at the bottom right edge. The gathering appears to be a devotional moment at night. Probable Swamiji (appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, ornate gold necklace) is the figure in front with folded hands.
