A night-time street gathering where many devotees, mostly women in saris and salwar kameez and some men in shirts, kneel or bend along the road to place small clay oil lamps in long parallel rows. The lamps glow warmly across the asphalt, with shop lights and signboards visible at the top edge. A woman in a yellow sari and a woman in a navy sari with glasses stand prominently among the crowd, and a man in a green shirt in the foreground watches the lamp lines. The scene suggests a lamp-lighting offering during a temple inauguration.
