In the foreground a man in a white shirt with a dark bead necklace stands at right with his hand raised, beside a young boy in an orange patterned shirt with a dark cord around his neck. Other men in pale striped and white shirts stand close together, some with their backs to the camera. A dark signboard with ornate scrollwork and partly legible lettering sits at left, and illuminated signs appear in the background. No recognisable face-based identification is made; the scene shows ordinary devotees in a dim outdoor setting.
