Dusk scene of devotees seated on red stone steps beside a dark water body. Women wear saffron, yellow, red and maroon shawls and white garments; a blonde woman in a pink shawl and a woman in a yellow sari sit in the foreground. Many others sit in rows behind them, some holding small objects, with rows of seated people in the distance. No clearly identifiable figure is shown in an appearance-based role at the front, so no candidate is asserted.
